What the hell? Let's completely put climate change and mass extinction (which are huge problems on their own) aside for a moment.
Do you know what threatens the collapse of the industrial civilisation? The end of fossil fuels. That's a very real problem right here right now. Without the climate change and mass extinction problems, that would still be a reason for our industrial civilisation to collapse soon.
Luckily, the solution to all of those 3 problems is the same: cut down emissions, do less with less. A good introduction to the problem, I find, is here: https://www.amazon.com/World-Without-End-Illustrated-Climate/dp/1638931119 https://www.amazon.com/World-Without-End-Illustrated-Climate...

The single source you’ve put forward, World Without End, doesn’t support your assertions. We aren’t going extinct because of climate change. We aren’t losing industrial civilisation because of climate change or running out of fossil fuels. There are good reasons to act on climate change without lying. And by lying, you undermine the legitimate science around the damage and costs.
