Climate Collapse

Accelerating global warming from unchecked greenhouse gas emissions is driving irreversible tipping points, including permafrost thaw, ice sheet collapse, and Amazon dieback. By the mid-21st century, these trends are projected to produce widespread crop failures, extreme heat rendering large regions uninhabitable, and cascading biodiversity loss that undermines food systems and economies.

Geopolitical and societal inertia has prevented sufficient emissions cuts, locking in 3°C+ warming pathways. The resulting resource conflicts, mass migrations, and infrastructure breakdowns would erode global governance, leading to systemic civilizational failure rather than recovery. This trajectory aligns most closely with observed data across environmental indicators.
