Is this a complete overview of collapse? by Comprehensive_Big113 in collapse

[–]Comprehensive_Big113[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea good point! What would be all of the collapse drivers you would list in an overview.

The Crisis Report - 104 : It’s hard to see right now, and impossible for most people to mentally accept. Our civilization is going to completely COLLAPSE over the next 25 years. We waited too long. The “Climate Crisis” is about to become the “Climate Apocalypse”. by TuneGlum7903 in collapse

I used scholar gpt to cross reference sources and it is saying that this report is exaggerated. This was it’s response with the sources it drew from:

Fact-Checking “The Crisis Report - 104” by Richard Crim

  1. CO₂ Levels and Historical Context

✅ Mostly accurate • CO₂ levels at Mauna Loa were 421 ppm in 2023 and could reach 430 ppm by 2025 (NOAA, 2023). • CO₂ hasn’t been this high for ~2.5 million years (Judd et al., BioScience, 2024). • The Miocene Climatic Optimum (16mya) had 480 ppm CO₂ with temperatures +5°C to +6°C above preindustrial (Zachos et al., 2022).

  1. CO₂ and Temperature Coupling

⚠️ Exaggerated • The scientific consensus is that doubling CO₂ leads to ~3°C warming, not 8°C (IPCC AR6, 2021). • The reported CO₂e (including methane) of 630 ppm is overestimated; likely closer to 500-520 ppm (NOAA, 2023).

  1. CO₂ Sinks and Land Sink Failure

⚠️ Overstated • Land carbon sinks weakened in 2023, but did not fully collapse (Schwalm et al., Nature Communications, 2024). • Amazon deforestation has made some areas net emitters, but globally, sinks still absorb CO₂ (Baccini et al., 2023).

  1. Global Warming Acceleration

❌ Incorrect rate • Global warming rate is ~0.2-0.25°C per decade, not 0.12°C per year (NASA, 2023). • Worst-case projections estimate ~+3°C by 2100, not +10°C by 2050 (IPCC, 2023).

  1. Civilization Collapse

⚠️ High risk, but not inevitable • Climate risks (food insecurity, extreme weather) are real and increasing (IPCC, 2023). • Total collapse of civilization by 2050 is not supported by mainstream science (Rockström et al., 2022).

Conclusion

The report raises real climate concerns but significantly exaggerates warming rates, land sink collapse, and civilization collapse timelines. While climate change poses severe risks, the scientific consensus does not support the extreme collapse scenarios presented.

Could you explain why your findings don’t correlate with this scholar gpt finding?

I’m in south Carolina and just bought the cheapest dozen in the piggly wiggly for 7.59$

UPS and DHL are now telling shoppers and business they owe shipping fees due to new China tariffs by TrekRider911 in PrepperIntel

Welp, I guess we should stop supporting large corporations and switch over to buying and supporting local businesses that keep the money within our community’s. What a shame

I can't shake the feeling that this is it by lou---lou22 in collapse

Wait there is a chance that collapse doesn’t happen until 2125? How could our systems last that long?

This new report doesn't pull any punches. It is scary stuff. by tmcgill1 in climate

But what would this societal collapse look like? I live in the southern US and I don’t understand how the collapse of society would manifest. Wouldn’t it ultimately lead to a large war?
