A new study suggests the Mayan civilization might have collapsed due to environmental disasters:

"'These models suggest that as ecosystems were destroyed by mismanagement or were transformed by global climatic shifts, the depletion of agricultural and wild foods eventually contributed to the failure of the Maya sociopolitical system,' writes environmental archaeologist Kitty Emery of the Florida Museum of Natural History in the current Human Ecology journal."

As we move towards solving the climate crisis, we need to remember the consequences to civilizations that refused to take environmental concerns seriously.

If you haven’t read already read it, take a look at Jared Diamond’s book, Collapse.



So I guess his point is that this Global Warming thing has a silver lining after all.

Yea, the Mayans single handedly caused the colapse of the ecosystem, and thus thier society colapsed.  Ok Al, what the fuck ever.  Talk about a chicken little.

I live right on Lake Erie.  When people mention global warming to me I point in the direction of the lake and ask them 'what's over there?'.   Yup.  The lake.  In the last Ice age it was a mile thick glacier.  What happened to all the ice?  Yup, it melted.  What caused the ice to melt?  Was it carbon emissions from cave man's cooking fire that caused it?  They generally don't have an answer for me.  Then I tell them it's cyclical and is going to happen no matter what we do.  The fact that we started measuring on an upswing doesn't mean it's our fault or there's anything we can do about it.

When did the Mayan civilization collapse?  I can't remember.

Were there not other civilizations, elsewhere in the world?
Egypt? India? China?
What happened to those peoples at the same time as the Mayans
were collapsing?

Enquiring mine wants to know.

Yup...disease rationalized the Mayans, and thus the jungles grew around all of there cities...a return to "nature".  It's ain't the damn environment, it's too many friggin' people breath air and needing resources.  Global people reduction would results in huge improvements to the environment, notwithstanding any fossil fuel burning.
