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.

That puts some shit in perspective. Glad to at least learn of the concept of overshoot but goddamn is it depressing

It really is, isn't it.

Thanks for informing those that are new to this. For everyone else. Don’t dwell on it, there’s nothing you can do until the rest of the world wakes up.
