Global warming causes the collapse of agriculture where 50 to 75% of the food produced today disappears. Add to this major lakes drying up and water becoming contaminated by modern civilizations to the point there is not enough drinkable water or food to sustain the current population by a long shot. The total human population peaks and starts its dive. Societies begin to collapse and anarchy takes over in many parts of the world. Once the collapse take hold there will only be small pockets of peaceful civilization here and there. We will never again regain what we have today.
