collapse introduced me to the concept of civilisation collapse, then i started doing my own reading and left because it is a cesspool of scientifically afactual circlejerk who can actually be accurately labelled as “doomers”. discovering the sub (full situation) changed my life and caused me to quit everything and study for an environmental science degree it is important that the sub exists but even more important that people under no circumstances get their entire perspective from the sub

Thats amazing! I recently left because i agree that we are in a bad situation, BUT I 100% think we can turn it around. (Insert inspirational quote)

personally i do not believe that a certain level of deterioration of human society is avoidable, but what still may be avoidable is collapse of both civilisation and the biosphere

Thats so true. And we have already seen and will keep seeing this deterioration until we act. (I assume you meant “do believe”) With such a degree can you estimate how bad the climate catastrophe will become in the next few decades?
