    We’re on a brink of war without the middle east becoming inhabitable in the summer, let’s see what we do when 30% of us are hungry.

    This civilizations end will be a shit show and every month we just make it worse.

      Oh the Middle East should be the least of the West’s concerns.

      The Atlantic current systems are on the verge of completely shutting down (as in, it could reasonably happen next year). Once this happens, Western Europe will look a lot more like it should for the latitude. Frozen over.

      It’s over, and humanity’s window to stop it closed about 40 years ago. Not to mention a freshwater crisis that is in the beginning stages already, crop failures due to monoculture and climate change, and mass climate refugee movements.

      And, while not necessarily a bad thing, there is currently a fertility crisis with sperm viability taking a nosedive and nobody knows why. (We know why. It’s microplastics and PFAS.)

      Welcome to the end, enjoy your stay here!
