New UN report warns of total societal collapse due to ecosystem destruction without radical changes
hen the United Nations published its 2022 ‘Global Assessment Report on Disaster Risk Reduction’ (GAR2022) in May, the world’s attention was on its grim verdict that the world was experiencing an accelerating trend of natural disasters and economic crises. But not a single media outlet picked up the biggest issue: the increasing probability of civilisational collapse.

History has shown us that all the great empires have collapsed, we will be no exception to the rule.
- Not quite. History has shown us that all Empires end. 'Collapse' has certain negative connotations that needn't necessarily transpire.Nairn
- This time is more of a mass extinction situation - climate deterioration will move societal collapse and that'll be the end of "modern" humans...grafician
- Humans are the singular-most resilient creatures on this planet larger than an inch. Shit'll hit the fan, our faces will be covered in shit. We'll prevail.Nairn
- rats and cockroaches will prevail..neverscared
- @Nairn there are very few people fit to handle all the coming changes. We became practically a "mall society" nowgrafician
- Rome still exists... I've been there!BK

- We're likely the only shot at spreading Gaia beyond Earth, so we shouldn't be so quick to shit on ourselves. Not that we don't deserve it, of course.Nairn
- @Nairn You've watched too much SF, space is baren and very hostile to anything "life" so our chances are very slim to almost none...grafician
- And the fact we destroy this place over some "stories" we tell ourselves like capitalism, money, power, etc. it's stunning the arrogance & stupidity we displaygrafician
- More that once upon a time I took a fair amount of psychedelics and traversed the universe, so know our plight is greyer than pure black negativity allows.Nairn
- Perhaps we're the only high level life within a useful volume of spacetime. If so, we have every right to be arrogant. There is no God, we can do no wrong.Nairn
- If you have a sister - go fuck her. Bonobos do. Ants and Elephants lay waste to their environs, in their own way. Are they wrong? There is no absolute morality.Nairn
- If you hate yourself so much, do something about it. If you hate everyone else so much, do something about it. Your mores are on you. Do what you will.Nairn
- It's not negativity - I'm a problem solver - it's basic reality :))grafician
- we are in this situation because basic people don't accept basic reality and continue to do the dumb things over and overgrafician
- Hasn't humanity always thought it's approaching end times? Innate narcissisim, which has been hyped to new levels by surveillance, sorry social, media.MrT
- I mean, there's a difference between bible beaters talking about the end times and actual scientists screaming about empirical data.garbage
- It's not narcissistic to admit that we're causing this.garbage
- Furry muff. I think whether or not it's our fault will be argued forever. Either way we should probably end the frivolous digging up, burning and disposing.MrT

Unprecedented food shortages could spark riots in dozens of countries as Black Sea blockade adds to pressures, says WFP chiefDozens of countries risk protests, riots and political violence this year as food prices surge around the world, the head of the food-aid branch of the United Nations has warned.

War. Climate change-related extreme weather. Possible food insecurity coming. Unrest where people thought there wouldn't be any. Economy tanking. Politics tanking.

- trump was the first to sanction russian oil companies in 2019, but sad to see dimwits still believe in the russian collusion hoax.hotroddy
- globally, socialism is the biggest motivator of corruption in the world -firstly because their leaders lack entrepreneurship to succeed on their own merit and..hotroddy
- secondly, they justify their corruption by being a force of 'Inclusivity and social justice'. BLM take note! - 6 million dollar home for those in power.hotroddy
