“When do we know that a civilization is on the verge of collapse? In his now almost 20-year-old classic, Diamond identified three key indicators or precursors of imminent dissolution:”
1. Persistent and worsening environmental change.
2. Agriculture and production aggravating the crisis.
3. Elites failing to act.
Got that sinking feeling? Professor Emeritus Michael T Klara does: “Not only does the collapse of modern industrial civilization appear ever more likely, but the process already seems underway.” #JustCollapse
