Yep, the lesson is clear - inability to adapt quickly to changing circumstances leads to death and destruction. Interesting that the author talks about empires in the Middle East and theocratic death cults like the Mayans as examples, since neither form of governance is easy to change even when confronted with obvious problems.

But that wasn’t his point. Too bad he missed the obvious.

I have always considered droughts to be the most catastrophic of natural disasters, because they can cause profound changes in civilizations and societies. Hurricanes and tornadoes, while they may be spectacular and cause a lot of death and distruction, usually don’t cause profound social changes or destroy entire civilizations.

Hot weather in one place causes warm weather in another place farther north, which increases the growing season for that further north area. Also, hotter weather causes more moisture to be drawn out of the oceans, and therefore in some areas more rain, even flooding, and also glacier growth in other areas from a preponderance of snowfall.

Earthly cold spells can be more harmful, in the long run, for food crops. In our era of increased transportation the real threat of hunger in likely to be political stupidity and greed.

In 1978, Harvey Weiss, a Yale archaeologist, began excavating the city of Tell Leilan. Everywhere Weiss dug he encountered a layer of dirt that contained no signs of human habitation. This dirt layer corresponded to the years 2200 to 1900 B.C. - the time of Akkad’s fall.

yes, and it is about the same time that the old kingdom of Egypt fell apart too.

There is a BBC special on this:link
