SS: This piece breaks down several factors leading to collapse, with the central focus being climate change. It is organized like a reference book which is basically a blow by blow, scientific analysis of not only the rise in temperature, but also the associated domino effects resulting from rises in temperature. It examines catastrophic weather events and their impact to hyperfocused food producing nations; famine and associated mass migration and violence; increased biodiversity due to rising sea levels and corresponding increases in viral infectious diseases; and much more. The info is all backed up with included references and charts from reputable sources and makes a strong argument for collapse within the next 10-15 years. It also sheds light on the disappearance of the “aerosol shield” once industrialized operations collapse - this is something I’d never heard of before, which leads to increased CO2. The piece is extremely thorough and also includes interesting quotes about ocean acidification, freshwater contamination, deforestation, soil erosion, desertification, overfishing and species extinctions, as well as the threat of right wing attacks on power grids. There’s even discussion of the possibility that the 2024 election could be our last because emergency powers would make it possible for whoever holds power at that time to maintain control until collapse of governance. Overall a great read and learning tool, even for those well versed in many aspects of collapse.
