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.

Why did you erase your message? It was a very good bit of info.

Here:

I'm reminded of the little factoid that was going around last year saying that each time someone flies on an average airline from New York to London, the resulting contribution to climate change means less sea ice by a number of square metres that was surprisingly large. Far as I could tell it was probably true.

Saudi Arabia burns a hell of a lot of oil per capita, more than even the USA and Canada. That's what's fucked up. And according to that source at least, so do the people of Greenland.
