Speaking for myself, there's so much going to shit in the world, it's difficult to focus on one particular existential threat.
This, it feels like the mother of all cascade failures...
Most people have the will; but our civilization's leadership doesn't have the interest because the status quo serves their needs adequately.
Nothing will change until we have either a full collapse, or a general strike.
What the fuck do you want ME to do about it? Every step I take to help the environment throughout my life, is undone by a billionaire in a day. You want to fix the climate issue? Toss the billionaires into a volcano and give their money to climate science and social programs
Collapse
We have moved to https://lemm.ee/c/collapse -- please adjust your subscriptions
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.
