Climate Collapse

Global greenhouse‑gas emissions continue to rise, pushing the planet toward a temperature increase of over 2 °C this century. Tipping‑point feedbacks—permafrost methane release, Amazon die‑back, loss of Arctic ice albedo—threaten a runaway greenhouse effect, producing extreme heatwaves, chronic water shortages, collapsing agricultural yields, and rapid sea‑level rise that displaces hundreds of millions of people.

Scarcity of food and fresh water will trigger massive migrations, intensifying resource competition among nations. Without coordinated global governance—or if existing agreements fail—these stresses could escalate into proxy wars and even nuclear exchanges, further destabilizing societies. The combined pressure of environmental collapse, geopolitical conflict, and social breakdown could erode the foundations of modern civilization, potentially leading to a global collapse of governance and the loss of most human life.
