Climate Collapse

While many catastrophic scenarios exist, the most probable path to civilizational collapse stems from runaway climate change. Current trends show accelerating emissions and insufficient global coordination, placing us on a trajectory for critical tipping points—like permafrost methane release or Amazon dieback—by mid-century. This would trigger systemic failures in global agriculture, water security, and mass migration, destabilizing societies and governments worldwide. Resource scarcity and extreme weather would overwhelm international cooperation, potentially igniting widespread conflict and ultimately leading to a cascading societal collapse that could threaten humanity's long-term survival as a globally connected civilization.
