This article from Y Net News warns that one of America's most important military bases - Israel - may be uninhabitable very soon, with large parts of the base regularly exceeding 50C. This makes outdoor work nearly impossible at peak hours. Its unlikely that automation will be able to replace traditional construction work in time.

Collapse related because this region is already heavily armed and probably has hundreds of nuclear weapons at its disposal. Any serious environmental threat is going to lead to even more armed conflict - which will rapidly expand to nearby nations that are also grappling with unlivable conditions.
