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

I'm currently in Norway, which is projected (don't have a citation) to see a 8 K cooling as the result of the AMOC collapse. I don't know how much warming Norway will have by 2050, presumably 2-4 K.

Germany is expected to experience 2 K of cooling. So potentially the net result is around zero, ignoring probability of extreme events.
