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.

Can't create a dead zone from dumping chemicals into the water when the water is already a dead zone.

This is a speedrun to save humanity while killing everything else. Problem is, humans still live in and need the environment.

Engineering is a grand name for dumping a big load of iron sulphates into the ocean to see what happens.

Sounds like a great plan, because nothing bad happens when you increase algal blooms /s
