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.

You may not be exaggerating as much as you might think. It depends on whether you read the article.

The title is clickbait; the article is about hour soon global warming will disrupt the currents in the Atlantic that essentially govern world weather patterns.

Britain: another ice age? Yes, please!
