Sometimes small cracks appear in the mainstream climate change narrative.
I watched a documentary about the collapse of the Akkadian empire, and in that documentary, the theory is that the 4.2k year event was the reason for it.
The 4.2k year event lasted about 230 years (200-300 years) and consisted of rapidly shifting weather patterns.
Usually, when telling climate hysterics, that large parts of europe was under km of ice, and that grapes have been grown in southern sweden in medieval
times, this is hand waved away with "yes, but those changes took place over 1000s and 10000s of years, so have no bearing on the current climate changes. None what so ever."
Now here we have a proven weather change that took place with let's say 230 years, without any man made CO2 at all!
Estimates say that temperatures changed in some regions with 1-2 degrees C as a result of this weather event, and if we compare that with estimates of temperature change between 1794 to 2024, we see that
the temperature has changed an estimated 1.4-1.6 degrees C in that 230 year period.
So the next time someone tells you that climat only changes during 1000s to 10000s of years, you can tell them to check out the 4.2 kiloyear event.

And also the collapse of the Akkadian empire as a result thereof.
Ergo... climate can vary quickly, even during 100s of years and historically civilizations collapsed because of that.
Today we need not fear, because our technology

@sj_zero Good point! I think one take away from your post is to work for _real_ preparedness, and not just doomsday predictions and higher taxes. Doomsday scenarios and higher taxes will paradoxically makes us even less prepared to deal with actual problems.
There also seems to be a refusal to accept any positive effects of changing climate as well, which I find wrong. Of course there will be bad effects for some, and positive effects for some, and warming will, looking at history, provide
