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.

RULES

Seattle reporting in. It has been cooler than normal and much wetter than the past few years. I commented on this to my wife, who said "it's like how Seattle springs used to be!"

Yes... which is why it is kind of strange. Especially when I'm reading about other places that are on fire, breaking record temperatures, and extremely dry. I have no doubt it won't last. We'll soon be hotter than normal, choked with wildfire smoke, and praying for rain.
