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.

If the consensus was that people are just stupid animals you will also swallow it too. Reality shoes that warmer countries are just fine. People would rather believe what an authority says because it is politically correct, than what a research actually shows. Just like the pandemic, scaring people with made up models to pass predefined policies.

If my grandmother had wheels she'd be a trolleybus.

Keep your rants to yourself.
