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.

RULES

1 - Remember the human

2 - Link posts should come from a reputable source

4 - No low effort posts.

From Prof. Eliot Jacobson:

Wow! Wow! Wow!

North Atlantic sea surface temperature anomalies are going vertical again. And yes, I needed to extend the y-axis.

Yesterday's temperature of 24.49°C (76.08°F) was 4.2σ above the 1991-2020 mean. The previous high for July 17 was 23.71°C (74.68°F) in 2020.

Guess we should cover earth in a nice thick layer of dust for a few years until we solved the climate problem...

Isnt that what happened in the Matrix and why the world was left in desolation due to the crazy weather that that caused?

Ahhh i don't want to hear about possible consequences!

There are people that seriously propose that.

Essentially. We'd have to continue creating a masking effect, while stopping and reducing CO~²~.

I think if humanity joined forces, a united effort, we could fix it, but I think we won't, because of the greedy few.
