Local or global, principle is the same: Civilization collapse = whenever the way a civilization is run, can't be sustained any longer. Often worsened by a ruling elite only looking after themselves, while ignoring their societies' bigger problems. And sometimes (unexpected?) external events. The "unsustainable" is pretty much a given right now. So 'the ship has to be turned', quick. Otherwise civilization collapse will (logically, inevitably) follow. Just like in past collapses. Only this time, global scale. I prefer "turn ship around, quick" option over "widespread crop failures, chaos, wars, famine & other disasters".
