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.

Yes. But it will be too late to do anything. Humans have this incredible ability to normalize anything, it helps us adapt. Look at homelessness. It boggles my mind that people just accept that we can’t do anything. We will accept thousands of wet bulb deaths from a heat dome. I’m not sure the average person will ever accept that the climate is the cause.
