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.

We've known about this shit for decades. When we're inevitably fucked by it, don't let a single god damn person tell you "we didn't know". Make sure they know it's their fucking fault.
Actually, there have been scientists claiming a raise in temperatures for literally over a century now. A hundred fucking years they've been saying the same thing
And look, we're already up 1 degree C since people started saying it. That may not sound like much but it's the biggest shift in like 10,000 years in a relatively short period of time.
But mah car!
Sounds like socialism.
