Climate Collapse

Current trends show relentless global warming driven by anthropogenic greenhouse‑gas emissions, with record temperatures, accelerating ice‑sheet melt, and increasingly frequent extreme‑weather events. Scientific models warn of crossing tipping points that could trigger irreversible feedback loops—such as permafrost thaw and Amazon die‑back—pushing the climate into a hothouse state. This would severely disrupt agriculture, water supplies, and coastal habitability, driving mass migrations, resource conflicts, and potentially the use of nuclear weapons, undermining global stability and leading to a systemic civilizational collapse. Compared with other existential risks (e.g., nuclear war, AI catastrophe, asteroid impact), the steady, already‑observable nature of climate change makes it the most probable driver of world‑ending outcomes within the coming centuries.
