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.

MODERATORS
I really wish we go extinct before we manage to find an habitable planet we can also realistically colonize
Colonization of a planet is 100% unrealistic. Our societies won't even work to maintain what we have. Who is going to spend money essentially creating life on a new planet? The rich have it good here. The governments are busy fighting and ignoring the people. People don't even want to switch to renewable energy.
No chance at all.
Colonization is probably far out of reach. Short of terraforming one of our solar system’s planets or moons (and this is truly our only hope), we’re stuck looking for exoplanets. The nearest star to ours is 4.25 light years away.
