      Ocean ecosystems have collapsed as well. Snow crab harvest has been cancelled for the last 2 years. Atlantic current systems are on the brink of failure, which would have catastrophic effects for Western Europe, let alone everyone else.

      Crops failing in Western agriculture. Insects have been gone for a decade at this point.

      People outside collapse watchers think the end will happen all at one time, like in the movies.

      We’re already in the end times. There’s enough living biomass built up to slow it down so that we only see one sign at a time. But add them all up and it’s obvious.

      It’s over.
