Climate change was behind the decline of previous civilizations, are we capable?
Climate Change, Nature's Wrath can be seen as a direct or indirect factor for the decline of civilizations, and it seems like we too are moving to a climate change phase, considering the irregular and unprecedented climate conditions.. How capable are we to face this.
I'm not an expert, a honest question to know about facts and your opinion.
- smt88 6y agoI agree that climate change is an existential threat to human life on Earth, but I don't know of any historical civilization that declined due to climate change. Can you give an example and citation for that claim?

- Gooblebrai 6y ago> Climate Change, Nature's Wrath can be seen as a direct or indirect factor for the decline of civilizations, Do you have any source to back this statement?
- jf22 6y agoI have an odd question that I'm asking in a positive way. Did you consider googling "climate change, decline of civilizations" at all? Personally, I think people are asking for sources of extremely easy to access information more and more. People take more time to reply than to do a basic google search. I know of the whole concept of the person making the claim has to back it up, but this isn't debate club, and the information is at your fingertips. I don't know why people ask for sources when a Wikipedia entry a few keystrokes and a couple of clicks away. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Historical_climatology https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Historical_climatology
