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.

The monthly series doesn't quite capture what has been happening this year.

North Atlantic Sea Surface Temperature.

Since March of this year, the North Atlantic has been consistantly half a degree above last year and a full degree above the 1982-2011 average temperature. Temperature records have been broken every day since March.

We are in completely new territory now. Normally El Niño increases wind shear in the Atlantic, which makes hurricane formation more difficult. This increase in sea surface temperature may offset that. Things are going to be unpredictable.
