I wouldn’t talk about a meltdown of society here - this is a natural disaster, not the sacking of Rome. In due time help will arrive, people will bury the dead and rebuild. Though I agree it makes you appreciate how we take things for granted until one day they aren’t.
Climate change caused this so I don’t know that you can really call it natural. Unless you include things people do as natural (I tend to but that’s not how most people use the word.)
…yet. looks at record breaking forest fires in Canada. Yes I know it’ll take a lot more to have a drastic impact but we’ve been neglecting our impact so it’s just a matter of time.

Yeah but climate change causes natural disasters.
I mean, humans are perfectly natural beings. Everything we do to cause climate change comes from natural sources.
Technically it’s natural. It’s just more accurate to say man-made.
Yeah, I agree.
Honestly I think the word natural doesn’t mean anything. Is an anthill unnatural? If not, neither is a city or a computer.
It’s a wildfire on a very small and very arid island. Not exactly representative of society at large.
