Scientists identify the date of the 'great crash'

 

In the 1970s, scientists from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) developed a method to determine when the great collapse, which they described as the 'human apocalypse', would occur, and the result of the study was given a clear date for the great collapse.

What we are experiencing these days is proof of how accurate predictions the scientists conducting the study made... Let's take a look at them together.

In 1972, a group of researchers investigated the risks of a possible doomsday scenario, stating that natural resources will be depleted in the 2020s and rising costs will upset economic growth prospects.

According to the news of The Guardian , the Swiss-based think tank Club of Rome has published a "system dynamics model".

This model, which is used by a group including current and former heads of state, United Nations bureaucrats, government officials, diplomats, scientists, economists and business leaders, identifies the limits of growth (LtG) and states that "global ecological and economic collapse of the 21st  century predicted it would happen in the middle of it .

Accordingly, the Earth has been irreparably damaged due to greenhouse gases originating from fossil fuels; The new generations are faced with a legacy of a radioactive and heavy metal pollution planet where mineral resources are scarce.

In the study, it was predicted that the major collapse would occur around 2040. However, it was considered controversial in the 1970s when it was published.

Gaya Herrington, KPMG's Director of Consulting, Internal Audit and Enterprise Risk, updated the "limits to growth", or " LtG" model, which determined the date of the collapse with an article published in the Yale Journal of Ecology in November 2020 .

According to Herrington's predictions, the population will decrease rapidly in direct proportion to the increase in industrial production and the rapid decrease in resources.

Herrington's study reveals that society has about a decade or so to change course and prevent collapse by investing in sustainable technologies and equitable human development.
