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.

MODERATORS
I didn’t say it would save us from the carbon we already have ways to farm massive quantities in doors, using artificial greenhouses. Not a lot are built but they do exists, there are alternatives that are completely ignored in favor of doom and gloom. I agree carbon wise we are screwed from stopping the climate changes happening, but we definitely can and will adapt.
Fair enough. I think you and I probably agree except for one thing—I believe more in the greediness of humans than our ingenuity. Which probably makes me a nihilist, I dunno. :)
My personal experience is colored here but I am alive today because of human ingenuity and selflessness, I have to believe in it .
