"The vast accumulation of evidence shows that the human impact on Planet Earth has attained geological scale.

The collapse of modern human civilisation is inevitable.

On this planet it has happened at least 90 times so far, to past civilizations and 400 societies. The crucial question today is when will the epochal world-event take place?
