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.

For first world nations we won't see anything substantial for decades at least.
Apart from rising costs, rising cost of living, unaffordable insurance, storms, major weather events. Loss of homes, loss of livelihood, loss of stability.
I agree, it will take a bit longer to get to society wide boiling point. Some people will be hot first, due to luck of location or because they love in areas more prone to disasters. However, more and more people will become affected.
And insurance companies already pulling out of high risk areas!
