The Roman climate problem was tiny compared with ours, but it was evidently a factor. I am impressed by the similarity with poor constitutional arrangements which allowed things to deteriorate faster than they need have done. It's clear to me that the constitution in Britain and in the USA is no longer really 'fit for purpose'.

Major food shortages following massive crop failures and wars over food might be closer than we realise.
