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.

MODERATORS
Yeah, this is why I'm not too worried. The biosphere will take it all in its stride, even with mass extinctions it'll recover in every way, just give it a few million years.
From a human perspective, especially that of a single lifetime, obviously there's a huge amount to worry about.
But on the grand scale of things? Everything's going to turn out just fine.
Life on earth isn't going anywhere anytime soon, but I happen to like a lot of the animals we're killing. Even if it's not the end, mass extinction still sucks.
