The fourth and latest National Climate Assessment put together by 300 scientists from 13 agencies of the U.S. government and released last month found that climate change is real, man-made, and will cost the U.S. 10 percent of its economy by 2100. Midwestern farmers will lose 75 percent of their crop yields, and trillions of dollars in coastal real estate will be at risk. The wildfires out west, already unprecedented in their destruction, will get worse. Hurricanes and typhoons will grow more ferocious. Epidemic diseases will flourish.
This mirrored October’s dire assessment from the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change—compiled by 91 leading scientists from 40 different countries based on more than 6,000 scientific studies conducted by still more scientists—which found human civilization as we know it will be in severe peril by 2040, and that we have 12 years to dramatically change course to avoid that scenario.

Unless some unimaginable miracle occurs in the next few years, human civilization will decline sharply world wide.

More areas will become unlivable, the number of refugees will grow beyond anything we can imagine as more and more people flee for their lives…

The comparatively tiny refugee numbers we have seen in recent years has already proven that fascist opportunists like Trump can easily whip up xenophobia and ride it to power… what happens when the throngs of displaced rise by orders of magnitude?

Fascism is coming- I pray not in my lifetime, but it probably will be … either that or annihilation in the wars that will come with the tumult.

We are at the precipice after burning a line of bridges on our long journey to this point, and there may be no path left that doesn’t lead to a tumble into a new dark ages.

The collapse is coming, and there will be no Hari Seldon to cushion the fall-
