New York Air quality is about twice as bad as the second worse city in the world. It is beyond the threshold for threatening.(arstechnica.com)

Submission Statement

This is collapse related because this wildfire is as created so much pollution, that the worlds top city in terms of the economy is becoming unlivable. Sure this will clear up, but will this be the last time? People will start to migrate away from this city due to the unhealthy air quality.

We visited NY last year for the first time and it’s so sad to see the pictures. I hope the people is taking care of themselves and masking up despite whatever bs fox news and others say.

This is not only unhealthy but, life threatening in the short term for some people.

This is the place for discussing the potential collapse of modern civilization and the environment.

Collapse, in this context, refers to the significant loss of an established level or complexity towards a much simpler state. It can occur differently within many areas, orderly or chaotically, and be willing or unwilling. It does not necessarily imply human extinction or a singular, global event. Although, the longer the duration, the more it resembles a ‘decline’ instead of collapse.
