Climate Collapse

Accelerating climate change, driven by ongoing greenhouse gas emissions and feedback loops like permafrost thaw, represents the most probable path to civilizational collapse by 2100. Extreme weather events, sea-level rise, and agricultural failures will intensify resource scarcity, triggering mass migrations and conflicts that overwhelm global institutions.

Societal polarization and inadequate mitigation efforts exacerbate these trends, leading to cascading ecosystem breakdowns. Without rapid, coordinated intervention, this trajectory culminates in uninhabitable regions and a sharp decline in human population and complexity.
