Climate Collapse

Current emissions trajectory points to a >2°C rise by mid‑century, pushing the planet toward multiple climate tipping points—accelerated ice‑sheet melt, permafrost methane release, and forest die‑back. These feedback loops can trigger a self‑reinforcing hothouse Earth, making large regions uninhabitable, collapsing agricultural yields, and displacing billions of people. The resulting resource scarcity, mass migration, and stressed geopolitical relations would intensify conflicts, potentially involving nuclear powers, and could ultimately erode the complex global systems that sustain modern civilization, leading to a catastrophic, possibly irreversible, civilizational collapse.
