Low key, I spend a lot of my time studying how ancient cultures collapsed and a shocking number of them were caused by climate change. At the very least climate change was a significant factor in 70% of the collapses I have studied.
I recall reading it was a major factor in collapse of Rome as well.
Assyria, the Maya, and a few Chinese dynasties are particularly notable imo. What scares me is the climate change they experienced was on a significantly smaller scale than us.
Indeed, we’re gonna be facing much bigger problems. And on top of that, our whole global economy is built entirely on just in time supply chains. Any time there’s a breakdown in shipping then the whole house of cards quickly comes crashing down. And most of the world has no local redundancies that would facilitate any measure of self sufficiency.
