This is obviously wrong. No sane person would argue that climate change in Roman times was man-made, therefore there was no possible action Rome could have taken to mitigate it.
- thomasfoster96 9y agoIsn’t the bigger point that the modern world is in a situation to mitigate climate change, but isn’t really trying enough, thus risking the same fate as the Roman Empire?
- jstanley 9y agoThat doesn't follow. Just because the cause wasn't man-made doesn't mean a man-made mitigation can't work. For example, rain is not caused by human activity, and yet man-made roofs still work.
- NotSammyHagar 9y agoPlus capturing more water, diverting water, those are things that can address lack of rain. Grow crops that use less rain per produced food. There are endless things man can to do counter natural events. For us, besides all those things, don't build in flood plains, don't build in the forest that has frequent fires (probably most of them). or build houses that won't be destroyed by fires. http://abcnews.go.com/US/mans-concrete-home-survives-raging-wildfire-washington/story?id=33286398 http://abcnews.go.com/US/mans-concrete-home-survives-raging-...
