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.
