Could human civilization collapse or eventually become extinct because of climate change, and if so on what time scale are we taking about?
It seems like a lot of scientists are saying that societal collapse is now the most likely outcome, due to impacts upon crops and water availability, plus mass migration.
What impact does the pandemic have on all of this?
I don't know for sure, I did see this very bleak article doing the rounds a month or so back though: https://eand.co/if-life-feels-bleak-its-because-our-civilization-is-beginning-to-collapse-a787d62d714b
I've not actually read Desert myself, so I dunno if it's any use, and the people who are most into it tend to be a bit annoying imo, but it might be one starting point for grappling with this stuff: http://organisemagazine.org.uk/2019/10/03/desert-review/ https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/anonymous-desert
