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.

Here in America, we definitely care, but at the moment we are caught in the biggest existenstial crisis since the Civil War. We can't deal with Climate Change until we purge the MAGA Nazi's from our government. Then we can get back on track to dealing with larger global issues
But right now we have to save our country, and the world. That's the biggest thing we can do at the moment. Because if we don't stop the Nazis, they will allow every polluter to destroy the environment.
i think that the fact that the american ruling class has decided to ban green technology from china and pivot themselves towards the arctic by trying to annex greenland and canada proves that the people who could make a difference already don't care; meanwhile the rest of us are still fighting the culture wars while simultaneously identifying that the culture war is a distraction.
places like india are going to bear the brunt of it.
Which is also why the US is trying to push hard into the indian agricultural markets with all this talk on tarrifs. They want to extract as much wealth out of the people as possible before the climate scorches the earth. Colonizers with foresight.
they're also fight off green tech from china and sapping themselves in nationalist vs islam culture wars; like us, they're not doing themselves any favors.
