A new study indicates that anxiety about social and economic collapse due to climate change is pervasive in Australia. The nationwide survey (commissioned by the author and carried out by Roy Morgan Research) reveals that nearly a third of Australians are ‘very or extremely concerned’ about social and economic collapse occurring by 2050. Three in five Australians (60 per cent) are at least moderately concerned.

Les années à venir ouvriront la période la plus bouleversante qu’aura jamais vécu l’humanité en si peu de temps. L’effondrement de notre civilisation industrielle s’y produira à l’échelle mondiale. Voici un ouvrage qui répond à certaines questions qui surgissent lorsqu’une telle perspective sans retour devient évidente. Comment diable se fait-il que les dirigeants du monde aient ignoré cette perspective ? D’où provient cet aveuglement au futur proche, ce déni de réalité ? Et y aura-t-il encore une humanité civilisée en 2050 ? Quelles sont les institutions qui garantiront aux humains de faire société ? Dans quelles conditions de vie subsisteront-ils ? Précurseur de la collapsologie, Yves Cochet nous fait vivre, en historien du futur proche, un scénario de grande transition.

Americans aged 18-25 are anxious, powerless, and afraid. According to a recent study of American youth, 62.9% agree: "humanity is doomed". The same survey found that almost all agreed that the climate was changing. Remarkably, the findings were fairly consistent across party lines.

Exclusive: As wildfires rage, Frank Elderson says more work needed to assess risk from collapse of ecosystem services

And why when we do see it, we fail to act.

Récemment, des chercheurs britanniques et étasuniens ont mené une étude majeure démontrant que des catastrophes biologiques d’ampleur se produisent lorsque le rythme des changements environnementaux dépasse la vitesse d’adaptation biologique des espèces. Dans le cadre de leurs travaux, les scientifiques ont analysé des grandes crises qui se sont déroulées lors des 450 derniers millions d’années.

Members of parliament have demanded full publication of an explosive report by the UK’s spy leaders that found the collapse of ecosystems overseas would have catastrophic consequences for the UK’s national security, warning that the UK has “no future” if the findings are not urgently acted on.

A vast system of Atlantic currents that delivers warmth to northern Europe is at risk of collapse, according to a growing body of research. The latest study to warn of its demise finds there is at least a 10 percent chance that a collapse may already be “locked in.”

For most of the modern era, capitalism justified itself through growth. Industrial societies converted vast amounts of fossil energy into production, wealth, and rising living standards. Roads, bridges, power grids, schools, and public institutions expanded alongside the economy. Inequality and exploitation remained deeply embedded in the system, but they were partly obscured by a broader story of material progress.

Climate scientists warn of unprecedented Antarctic heatwave, with temperatures 20C above normal. Loss of sea ice threatens marine life and penguins.

Cette présentation propose des bases pour la collapsologie, en tant que discipline en devenir.

Ten million people left without power in latest of outages that sparked violent protest last weekend

The system of ocean current that moves heat in the Atlantic Ocean plays a key role in regulating climate. Today’s monitoring of it may be discontinued...

Brutal El Nino, drought, war threatens food supply

Je sais exactement où tu es assis(e) en ce moment. Tu regardes un graphique des températures de surface de l’Atlantique Nord, observant une ligne rouge s’envoler vers un territoire inconnu et terrifiant. Encore une donnée horrible qui confirme ce que tu sais déjà. Tu ressens cette chute familière et creuse dans ton estomac en prenant conscience de la réalité biophysique : les systèmes de la planète se désagrègent.

The unspoken truth about humanity's frightening future.

A Letter to the Newly Awake. I know exactly where you are sitting right now. You are staring at a chart of North Atlantic sea surface temperatures, watching a red line spike into uncharted, terrifying territory. Yet another horrible data point proving what you already know. You feel a familiar, hollow drop in your stomach as you register the biophysical reality: the planet’s systems are unraveling.

We must confront two stark realities about the end of our era. First, the collapse of our industrial civilization is already underway, manifesting as a slow, agonizing process of structural decay, economic exhaustion, and ecological overshoot. Second, this descent is terminal. We have permanently exhausted the physical prerequisites for any future technological reboot.

L’humanité fait face à une bifurcation sans précédent dans son histoire et celle de la Terre. Espèce née de processus extrêmement complexes et globalement autorégulés, elle devient une force géologique qui peut rendre la planète inhabitable ou au contraire devenir une force régulatrice. Partie 1

Beneath the surface of the Pacific, a massive pool of heat is preparing to reshape global weather patterns. Time is running out to prepare for a climate shock of unprecedented scale. As 2026 unfolds, the Pacific Ocean is priming a catastrophic El Niño that threatens to cripple global food systems, trigger widespread economic instability, and shatter planetary temperature records.
