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.

Climate change is a narrow view that looks only at one part of the whole.

I would not call that honest. Climate change is a big deal and is not a religion which demands that one acknowledge no other gods. It deserves a spot in that top-level list of big problems, whether or not "it's delusional" to think we'll do anything about it.

The top level issue is overshoot (of the global ecosystem carrying capacity), and the climate catastrophe is but one facet of it.
