also, my post wasn't an endorsement of apathy btw. there's still time to fix society, and there's still good people out there. the hard work is in giving people the hope to end this nightmare.

there's time to fix society but middle america is too in love with blaming non-whites for their problems as they spike up on fetanyl to bother

also hard work and sacrifice aren't america's forte lol

The difference between the Bronze Age Collapse and the upcoming Information Age Collapse is that the bronze age sea people were armed with bronze age weapons and were fighting against defenders armed with bronze age weapons, while the Information Age refugees will be armed with automatic weapons and will be fighting against defenders armed with biological, chemical, and nuclear weapons.

Rather than the whole of civilization burning because of a huge clash of hungry mouths killing each other to death, we'll see all the refugee countries (except their rich, whom will flee without incident) massacred and/or starved to extinction. Their great cities and monuments will survive, and the countries they attempted to flee to will be fine but for their own environmental struggles.

climate change will become painfully obvious around 2040, they'll try some desperate changes that will accelerate things, and by 2060 we'll be pretty much extinct

Climate change is definitely going to kill us all. Even if climate engineering worked, there would be no political will. Say 20000 magical carbon capture plants would fix things, it would all break down because of funding. Sure we could have the resources and the manpower but good luck convincing the wealthy to give up the last decade of their life in luxury so humanity doesn't go extinct.

I can legit see humanity being taken down to around 1-2b total population in the next 150-250 years with the coming wars, famine, and plagues

and that's a good scenario with no or very little use of nukes

There was a great quote someone posted in here by a sci-fi author saying that including climate collapse in his stories is more science fact than fiction, and to enact any meaningful change humanity would have had to have started in the 70s. Any story of which would be pure fantasy.
