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.

There was a similar story in an Australian newspaper yesterday how within a decade 1 in 10 houses won’t be insurance due to flood/fire risk. End of the day, the insurance industry will just evolve and add more restrictions.. I can’t see them just going ‘oh well, no-one left to insure, our job is done here’
