We are going with both legs into ww3 and there is a chance that it will take us (as in humanity) into a mess for a decade or two, but rich nations wouldn’t desintegrate nor would they collapse due to climate change.
It depends on what kind of a martian colony we are going to get (probably we won’t get any) if it’s a vanity project of crazy billionaire it’s one thing, another thing if there is an actual need for such a colony.
Love your optimism about rich nations not disintegrating. The way I see climate change happening, there’s soon major changes in weather/ rainfall. Also some ecological collapse (eg bees, other pollinators, ocean acidification), with knock on effects to agriculture. Even problems in other parts of the world create pressure for resources, wars, increased migration…
Too much to detail, but many things that come to a breaking point in the next decades.
I’d love to hear why you think this seems unlikely. Look at the end of the roman empire. Or any empire. Things don’t stay the same just because.

Ok.
