Collapse

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.

Wealthy western countries lead in global oil and gas expansion…. and propagandize that other countries are the problem for climate change and absolve themselves, as always.

Intent and the ability to deliver might turn out to be rather far apart. I find it hard to believe we can sustain extraction at the current level for another quarter century as the author seems to think.
