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.

Picture: Cerberus heatwave over the Iberian peninsula and southern France
Location: Central Germany
Cerberus heatwave mostly spared us here with only Saturday being a freakishly hot day (28°C --> 38°C temp jump for a day) but it showed me once again how badly prepared most older buildings are for what is to come.

In the past it was normal after driving the highways to have the front of your car covered in insect splatterings, especially during the two love-bug seasons per year. There was a small industry for bug wash, but nets, etc. After a long drive from one end of the state to the other you have to stop and wash the front of your car off just to see. Now, nothing. Nothing at all. First the tiny things go, then the small things, then the food.
