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.

Man, look at that jump. All graphs from this year have been like that and a similar timescale. North Atlantic sea surface temperature and Antarctic sea ice extent anomaly come to mind

If warming is a nonlinear process, then this jump is really when it all becomes undeniable.
