Civilization is indeed in trouble but at this point a total Mad-Max style collapse isn't likely, not in most areas at least.
The one good thing is, is that humans are an extremely resilient & intelligent species compared to most others, even with our terrible flaws; chances are, we'll be here long after the primates, elephants, and most others. have gone extinct.
But that isn't the world I would want to live in, and that's why we need to keep pushing for results.
