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 worked in plant physiology for a while; my understanding is that a lot of our common crops, while adapted for hot climates, are already at their thermal tolerance limits. It'll just takes a bad series of extreme events to wipe out a crop, which are becoming increasingly common

If it hits now in full swing, it will mark limits to growth as too optimistic, and that ends with population collapse by the end of the decade.
