I don't understand the reference to climate change. From everything I've read the climate was warming back then. That's good for farmers, right?

Or, were the farmers starting to fight over land as the climate warmed and agriculture became widespread? Global warming, bad, bad, bad.

“The LBK population had expanded considerably, and this increases the potential for conflict,” said Meyer. “Also, the LBK were farmers, they settled. So unlike hunter gatherers, who could move away to avoid conflict, these people couldn’t just escape. Add to this the fact that there may have been a period of drought that constrained resources, causing conflicts to erupt.”
