Predictions of imminent collapse are being made all the time. The reason you don't see them is you don't look in the places they are being made, and they don't receive media coverage. Because they are indistinguishable from eye-twitch crazy. In the same way that warnings about bigger conspiracies look increasingly crazy, warnings about more imminent collapse get lost in the sea of other 'mental' predictions. Even if you do go looking for such predictions, distinguishing them from the crazy stuff that surrounds them is not easy. They would look exactly like the noise that surrounds them. Plus, in such forums, a medium-term collapse production based around something so mundane as climate change is passé.
