This is like saying "Water was always wet" while people are talking about how to navigate the oceans. Please ask yourself which value it brings to this discussion.

>Anyone who knows anything about history Society is so mentally ill they don't even understand how current farming works. So it's a lost cause. These cults come in and fill that space. The idea raised in the article that Siberia will warm and become frontier land but we'll just let the infrastructure fail is a special kind of stupid. I do like the way they used 2099, Not 2100. They don't even have to pretend anymore it's about zapping people's brains just like ad companies.

What scientists, economists, and historians are concerned about is that the last 10,000 years of climate stability is what has enabled our current civilization. "In southern Iraq, farmers work much the same land as the Sumerians, the civilization that pioneered irrigated agriculture in about 6000 BCE, and still abide by much of the ancient planting timetable. But as summers become longer and hotter and other seasons shift, many farmers have been left bewildered, angry, and scared. “The old people have the same mindset as in the past. They feel there’s a continuity because there’s been no development and we have the same tools and same ways of agriculture,” said Jaafar Jotheri, a geoarchaeologist at Iraq’s Al-Qadisiyah University whose father and brother still farm to the south of Baghdad. “Now they’re seeing the climate change, though, and some of the older people don’t know what and when to grow.” Southern Iraqi farming is rich with millennia-old idioms that no longer hold true. ‘August is for reducing the grapes and producing the dates,’ goes one, but the grapes and dates have started to come at irregular times in recent years. ‘September is the month of moving the buffalo from the water,’ goes another, but Septembers are so hot that water buffalo must be grazed in the marshlands of southern Iraq until later in the year for fear of overheating them." https://www.nationalgeographic.com/science/article/climate-change-killing-thousands-of-years-indigenous-wisdom https://www.nationalgeographic.com/science/article/climate-c...
