Climate Collapse

Current trajectories show continued rises in global average temperature, with extreme weather events, accelerating sea‑level rise, and mounting evidence of climate tipping points such as Amazon dieback, permafrost thaw, and Antarctic ice‑sheet loss. Feedback loops could trigger a runaway hothouse Earth, rendering large regions uninhabitable, collapsing agricultural productivity, and disrupting fresh‑water supplies. The resulting scarcity of resources would intensify geopolitical competition, drive mass migrations, and increase the risk of violent conflict. In a worst‑case cascade, these pressures could undermine global food systems, cause societal breakdown, and ultimately make the planet unable to support civilization, effectively ending the world as we know it.
