Balázs Stumpf-Biró - András Gelencsér - Our civilisation could collapse in a few decades
"It is very demanding on the Earth to provide for the living conditions of eight billion people," said András Gelencsér, Rector of the University of Pannonia. He said that in just a few decades, our civilisation will collapse. According to Balázs Stumpf-Biró, a collapse researcher, this is also the last decade that even resembles the decades before.
Increasing population growth could be at the root of the problems, according to the rector of the University of Pannonia, who said that many coastal areas and islands are inevitably threatened by rising sea levels. András Gelencsér, an atmospheric scientist, believes that our habitat will shrink in the foreseeable future, and the possible stoppage of the Gulf Stream would also have a major impact on Europe's climate.
But he sees the biggest threat in the resources and raw materials crisis. Renewable energy sources also pose some problems, he said. He said that solar panels and collectors, wind and hydroelectric power are essentially simple household appliances, like a vacuum cleaner or an iron.
András Gelencsér does not see renewables as the solution. He believes that if individual regions were to develop strategies tailored to their specificities, this would be a viable option for the future.
Collapse researcher Balázs Stumpf-Biró told Focus that the series of negative events had already begun with the outbreak of the pandemic.
Rather than waiting for one event to happen, it will be a series of events. We have pretty much reached the peak of the development, peaceful development and growth of industrial civilisation.
- said the researcher, who said that, in addition to the epidemic, war will also cause great damage, with very long consequences whenever it ends. "Every week means years of extra problems," he said.
But the experts concluded that there is no cause for concern, as the Earth will not be destroyed and the conditions for life will not be lost. But the golden age is coming to an end and all we can do is prepare for the changes and adapt to the new world that is emerging.
