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.
