Climate Collapse

Current trends show accelerating greenhouse gas emissions, deforestation, and feedback loops like permafrost thaw and ice sheet loss. By mid-century, these are projected to drive global temperatures beyond 2°C, triggering widespread crop failures, water shortages, and uninhabitable regions.

Geopolitical inertia and insufficient mitigation mean tipping points become probable, leading to cascading societal breakdowns, mass migrations, and conflict over resources. This trajectory points to progressive civilizational collapse rather than sudden extinction, as ecosystems and economies fail to sustain current populations.
