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

3 - All opinions are allowed but discussion must be in good faith.

4 - No low effort posts.

When do the UN start calling out states for eco-terrorism when they delay and build obstacles? I think all the countries who have reneged on their Cop 26 commitments should be tried for terrorism and fraud, with proceeds going to countries most affected by this earth-viability crisis.

Isn't it every country that does that now? Except some small countries like for example Bhutan

It’s weird because I didn’t hear anything on this locally but I was dying of heat exhaustion yesterday.
