This post is intended for users to easily navigate articles submitted by me over the past quarter, which provide a comprehensive picture of biosphere collapse.

I've spent many hours reading, comparing, and distilling articles to create a curated feed of scientific news for collapse-aware individuals. Sharing, upvoting, commenting and subbing to r/BiosphereCollapse is appreciated.

PSA - "I don't have access to that paper", or "how I learned to stop worrying and love the Sci-Hub"

You can see an overview in the comments and below, and I've highlighted a few articles (viewing on pc recommended) :

• Projections

  • The projected timing of abrupt ecological disruption from climate change
  • No returning to climate of the past even with carbon dioxide reduction
  • RCP8.5 tracks cumulative CO2 emissions

• Climate-dynamics destabilization

  • Poleward expansion of tropical cyclone latitudes in warming climates
  • Permafrost carbon emissions in a changing Arctic
  • Rapid glacier retreat rates observed in West Antarctica

• Anthropocentric biosphere-social alteration responses

  • A systematic global stocktake of evidence on human adaptation to climate change
  • The social shortfall and ecological overshoot of nations

• Climate-ecological impacts

  • Adaptive ecological niche migration does not negate extinction susceptibility
  • Biodiversity loss risks 'ecological meltdown'
  • Strong evidence shows Sixth Mass Extinction of global biodiversity in progress
  • All coral reefs in western Indian Ocean ‘at high risk of collapse in next 50 years’

• Planetary Boundaries & Standardized Measurements

  • Biogeochemical extremes and compound events in the ocean
  • The nine planetary boundaries

• Paleontology

  • Thresholds of temperature change for mass extinctions
  • Past abrupt changes, tipping points and cascading impacts in the Earth system

• Wildfires

  • US wildfires have killed nearly 20% of world’s giant sequoias in two years
  • Increasing large wildfires over the western United States linked to diminishing sea ice in the Arctic

• Freshwater

  • Threats of global warming to the world’s freshwater fishes

I will be compiling more of these lists as our future becomes increasingly dire. Please contribute by posting new articles to r/BiosphereCollapse and interacting with the forum in a scientific-based manner. Thank you!
