- titanix2 9y agoYes the article is written like if environmental changes were the only factor. It may very well have undermined the inner streng of the empire (as a child I learn about the lead pipes that would have been a major issue because of saturnism) but it still needed external interventions to collapse. The article even mention the Byzantine Empire which have a very clear date and cause of falling that is definitely not climate related.
