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.

Why is this paper collapse-related?

With melting ice caps, it was thought that the gulf stream would be pushed south. Countries like Ireland that are temperate would rapidly have temperatures drop to similar levels to Canada, as the gulf stream no longer would keep them warm.

This paper would refute that.
