Ancient Climate Change

"As Democracy Now! broadcasts from the U.N. Climate Summit in Paris, France, we examine the connection between a warming planet and increasing conflicts around the globe. “If we want to deal with the issues of conflict, go to the root cause: inequality and climate change,” says Asad Rehman, former national organizer of the Stop the War Coalition in the UK, who now serves as Head of International Climate for Friends of the Earth. He notes that from 2006 to 2011, Syria suffered from five years of the worst drought ever in the country’s history. Nearly two million people moved from rural to urban areas, and 80 percent of livestock died. Asad compares this to the Arab Spring, which was driven in part by an agricultural collapse that prompted food prices to triple and generated mass social unrest." People often look at history through a certain prism. Often the context of history is the gaps between wars. You can look at it through several prisms though. You can look at it through the context of diseases, civilizations, discoveries, etc. One major prism is that of climate change. When you look at this modern era and realize how great climate change can effect the modern world you have to wonder how great it did the ancient world. A large climate change happened in the ancient world in Northern Africa, Saudi Arabia, the Levant and Anatolia. It contributed heavily to what we are referring to as the Aegean Event. #ClimateChange #Migration #Classicism #AegeanEvent #ScienceOfSelf
