This is the place for discussing the potential collapse of modern civilization and the environment.

Collapse, in this context, refers to the significant loss of an established level or complexity towards a much simpler state. It can occur differently within many areas, orderly or chaotically, and be willing or unwilling. It does not necessarily imply human extinction or a singular, global event. Although, the longer the duration, the more it resembles a ‘decline’ instead of collapse.

Am I bad for wanting to see Beverly Hills under water? Century City rising from the ocean as the new western sunset. I wanna open a scuba diving club to search the ruins and mansions for treasure

The sea level along the US coastlines is projected to rise by 0.25–0.3 m by 2050, increasing the probability of more destructive flooding and inundation in major cities

Oh, but that's 26 years away! We'll probably have that bridge finished and be ready to tackle the next project by then amerikkka-clap
