Add climate collapse
and you didn’t even MENTION the biggest one, climate change
We have pointed the clathrate gun at our heads, pulled the trigger, and nobody even knows.
I work in the computational climate space, and what we’ve all been screaming for decades has fallen on deaf ears, clogged by dollar bills from billionaires and fossil capital.
This comment inspired me to read about clathrates, which I did. But somehow, despite all my newfound clathrate expertise, I am still clueless about what a clathrate gun is…
Just looked it up. It’s yet another climate tipping point. The idea is that warming ocean waters will cause deep frozen sheets on the ocean floor to crack and release tons of methane from the crust, which is a huge irreversible negative feedback loop.
It’s similar to arctic permafrost melting which causes the methane stored in the frozen bogs in Russia to escape. Methane is more than 80x worse than CO2 for climate heating.
edit: funnily enough I was just looking at the novel The Deluge by Markley that covers a similar event.
What a time to be alive
Don’t worry, the aliens 👽 are here too!
And then they all combined into a megazord.

The term would be a systems collapse.
Aka what ended the eastern mediterranean bronze age civilizations so completely that it took 200 years for new civilizations to start up.
Just plant a garden and learn to can your produce.
And try to have your garden survive both drought and heavy rain storms. I don’t even know if it’s gonna be hotter in 10 years or colder because the gulf stream collapsed or some shit.
Just prepare for Armageddon, it includes all of them and more.
