Other HN users have pointed out the many outright falsehoods present in this article, so I'll just get straight to the point: This is nonsense from a fearmongering collapse blog that doesn't understand what they're trying to speak authoritatively about.

Other headlines currently present from the frontpage of this same site:

> Collapse Will Look Nothing Like the Movies

> How I Came To Believe That Civilization Is Unsustainable

> 2025: A Civilizational Tipping Point

Even if you find that content compelling, it's dishonesty and objective inaccuracy in which it substantiates its points suggests you shouldn't waste your time.
