Why so confrontational and always demanding proof?  Someone is sailing
the river Denial.

But, if you really must.

A study of the downfall of the Anasazi.  Basically a triple whammy of
catastrophic climate change, a violence culture, and war ended their
civilization.

The Mayans met a very different end due to the environment.  Like what
we are doing now they adversely affected their environment to their
eventual downfall.

What happened to the Mayans is the most chilling, because what they
did is what we are doing to the world right now.

You can keep denying Climate Change isn't real, but just because you
refuse to believe what's right in front of your face doesn't make it
any less real.  Or, any less of a threat to the survival of our
species.
