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.

Ok, ignoring the horrifying nature of all of the data... Man I really love that shading intensity of grey to show age of the line on the temp and ice extent graphs.
It actually does a really good job of showing how there was already a distinct trend upwards in average temps even if it was slow and consistent across the whole year and helps visualize those years of data better.
Anyways back to internal screaming I guess.
"The effects of global warming are progressively more severe, and possibilities such as a worldwide societal breakdown are feasible and dangerously underexplored."
Exactly what I was looking for. More spooky stuff for Halloween 👻🥲
