“Scientists warn society could collapse this century.”

If modern, global society were in the midst of a drawn out but accelerating process of collapse, what might it look like?

Could it look like exponentially growing war dead around the world, from Ukraine to Gaza to Tigray? Could it look like entire cities destroyed by hurricanes, like Acapulco, or entire countries flooded, like Pakistan last year? Might it look like mass migration from south to north, with fascist reactionaries seizing power in response? Could it look like the chaotic nihilism of an epidemic of mass shootings?

Maybe?
