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.

Aileen Getty has not personally worked in the oil industry and has poured much of her fortune into philanthropic ventures related to the climate crisis.

Isn't this what we want these rich people to be doing?

Sure, in theory, but it might be a little naive to start trusting them because of a few good deeds.

I'm still inclined to believe there's ulterior motives. The same holds for the charities they choose to patron.
