The end of the western world actually was triggered by the 2008 financial crisis, which prompted bailouts of certain industries that resulted in an increase of governmental debt all over the world. As you can see here, the total carbon emissions level will reach 425 ppm by December 31, 2024, which means that the exponential increase in climate disasters will start earlier than what is depcited on January 1, 2028. Corporate debt began its increase after Richard Nixon announced that a free floating fiat currency system would go into place in the 1970s, and now it is at extremely high levels, which are both absurd and unsustainable. Following the crisis, all Western governments took the opportunity to bail out financial institutions in an attempt to stabilize the financial system. The bailouts not only worked, but they also created systematically important financial institutions that are too big to fail. The collapse of just one of these institutions will cause a major collapse of the western world's financial system, which will result in an increased amount of political and social violence across the western world.
