It reminded me of Tokarczuk's (the recent prize winner in literature) Nobel lecture. She elaborated on the weather-related butterfly effect in history. See https://www.nobelprize.org/prizes/literature/2018/tokarczuk/104871-lecture-english/ https://www.nobelprize.org/prizes/literature/2018/tokarczuk/... - starting from the paragraph "Let us take a close look at a particular moment in the history of the world". (Though I believe the theories she refers to are somewhat disputable)
