I just hope it doesn't get too bad. A modern-day version of the Dust Bowls would be potentially as awful as the 535 eruption of Krakatoa, given how many people worldwide starve absent Uncle Sam's agriculture....
Well, a single year's worth of climate change accelerated a plague which halved the populations of the pre-Islamic Iranian Empire and Christian Europe. And led to the Old World version of contemporary Euro-American society where tiny groups of people took over larger societies halved by plague and built new syncretic civilizations on top of them.
Anomalies are real..heck I've thrown a snowball in hell (In '94 we got snowed in, in Jerusalem, so I specifically walked down to the Gehenna Valley for that purpose......)
I'm not sure of that, but, considering I was wearing tennis shoes, and only had a turtle neck and a flannel shirt for warmth to trudge thru the snow..... (Hey Israel has pretty close to the same climate as So Cal, who knew)
