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.


RULES

1 - Remember the human

2 - Link posts should come from a reputable source

3 - All opinions are allowed but discussion must be in good faith.

4 - No low effort posts.

Reporting from Germany. The last rainfall in my specific region of Baden-Württemberg (southern Germany) has been roughly 3 weeks ago, maybe a bit more. There is a lot of very dry vegetation and there have been multiple forest fires going.

Bright red is active fires, dark red is potential for fires.

The next rainfall is set to come this week, but it is not going to be that much, while the temperatures are steadily climbing and are at around 31°C peak now.

Meanwhile the CDU is stopping the addition of planned bike paths in Berlin and thus stops transition to a fossil fuel free infrastracture. Instead they want to improve car infrastracture.

There is more awareness for climate change in Germany now, but there is not nearly enough action.~___~
