We'll melt some permafrost and release trapped methane that will melt even more permafrost.

And we can't capture it either?

Probably not. Maybe in small amounts. There's an enormous area we'd have to capture it from. permafrost map

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.
