That the Age of Migrations was driven by cycles of good climate and bad, is an idea that goes back decades, well before our current anxiety about the anthropogenic effects on climate. Even that name, Age of Migrations, goes back decades in several languages. The nomadic populations of the steppe did cover a large area each year, but their needs were met within that limited area. Such populations did not make the vast trek across Eurasia unless they were somehow compelled to. Steppe history is a field where so many scholars are elderly (sometimes near-centenarian) white men who are aloof from any wokeness trends in academia. They would be baffled by your insinuation that the standard views they have held for long careers already, are part of some PC conspiracy.
