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.

Dozens of wildfires are burning in the Canadian province of Québec, and the smoke is so bad that it's causing air quality problems across large swaths of the U.S.

The National Weather Service said air quality has "plummeted" across the Northeast.

Officials from the Midwest to the East Coast and as far south as North Carolina are warning residents to take precautions as the hazy smoke floats south and poses a risk to public health.

Should we build a wall?

[–] FirstCircle@lemmy.ml -1 points 2 years ago

Well, the geniuses all seem to agree that's the solution to any complex geopolitical problem, so yeah, why not? I think it should have fans on top to keep us cool and blow the smoke back up north. Maybe even "outdoor AC" units. There'll be all those pesky so-called "Great" Lakes in the way, but we can probably fill them in with dirt trucked in (diesel only, no using those Commie "diesel-electric" trains) from all our brand new desert states.
