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.

They hit record levels every year for decades already. Nobody cared. I don't see how we could get out of this amalgamation of isolated short sighted short time goal optimizations, which makes it worse and worse.
