I have a question about the hierarchy of the forum and how the Covid-19 discussion falls into the AGW section.
It seems like there is an interest in collapse related topics here and AGW is a very large, but not complete subset of the larger collapse topic.
Just thinking out loud here since things are being modified....should the AGW section be renamed to include a broader definition?"AGW and Other Risks to Humanity"? Is it appropriate to start a thread on the general risk of civilization collapse? If so, where would that best fit?
The forum related to Arctic Sea Ice, all the ice everywhere else or lack of it.
Then there are all other topics related to the same problem because that is basically managing our planet in a crap way. We are maximising someones moneys now over the chances for our posterity which should annoy you if you have kids you like, or grandkids. Or maybe if you like people in general?
There are plenty of threads related to collapse like Places becoming less liveable. But there we want articles about certain areas not someones ideas.
The Insect Extinction. You can put stuff about insects there. And related stuff like the scientists trying to preserve the forest where Monarchs overwinter going missing and then turning up dead. Put not pet theories about collapse.
There are many more examples but the important divide is this:
The whole general risk of civilization collapse is just a hobby project.
You can start a forum called It´s all coming down today/this month/this year/this decade/next century if we are lucky.com to discuss that. (hereby granting you the right for free to perpetuity).
Meanwhile there are many on topic subjects pointing to collapse.
Do we just read them? Does it move us?
Since we are a climate change related forum we will stick to that.
There are off course many other issues like our bad handling of toxicity in chemical products or large scale geopolitics. Several other things which i intend to post about in the Lessons from Covid thread.
The world is interesting enough without veering of into ´general risk´ (and if that is your thing check out how right the IPCC is).
