This is the place for discussing the potential collapse of modern civilization and the environment.


Collapse, in this context, refers to the significant loss of an established level or complexity towards a much simpler state. It can occur differently within many areas, orderly or chaotically, and be willing or unwilling. It does not necessarily imply human extinction or a singular, global event. Although, the longer the duration, the more it resembles a ‘decline’ instead of collapse.

I don't boo them. But their message is equivalent to "let's lose over 90% of Earth's population over a couple of years" which isn't too popular for some strange reason.

A better message would be "let's use all what's left of fossil energy to build out renewable energy infrastructure and downscale our lifestyles radically, as the time is short". While still losing a lot of people, but that part is not said aloud.
