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.

Lot of people in this thread apparently unaware of exactly how flammable the thawed out north has turned out to be. Siberia has been pretty much continuously on fire since 2021, and you're probably already aware of the extensive wildfire problems in Canada.

I, too, at one point had figured climate change would just push the habitable zone north and open up more of the very large continental area up there. But it turns out, that's not going to be very habitable.
