I need to point out an inaccuracy in the article. Graham Hancock, Dale Drinnon and other researchers have demonstrated that this civilization actually started much earlier (as early as 9,000 years ago), as a coastal civilization, which was drowned as glaciers melted after the end of the Younger Dryas period. The society discussed in the article was but a remnant of that earlier civilization.

“Ancient climate change”, at a time when there were no nasty SUVs emitting CO2 into the atmosphere.

I didn’t realize that they had SUV’s 3,000 years ago to cause global warming.

Was the civilization wiped out by the 1990s style global warming or the 1970s style global cooling. I ask because global cooling is more likely to reduce agricultural production leading to mass starvation.

It was global warming caused by friction between the soles of the feet and the ground.

Yup, interesting (but not huge) temp change happened around 4000 years ago. Notice that we're overdue for a much larger drop; today's "warming" may be saving us from a similar cold calamity.

So are we to believe that climate would never change if humans did not exist?
The climate change may have had nothing to do with the humans, but misanthropes find it very satisfying to blame them.

The mysterious fall of the largest of the world's earliest urban civilizations nearly 4,000 years ago in what is now India, Pakistan, Nepal and Bangladesh now appears to have a key culprit — ancient climate change, researchers say.

a coastal civilization, which was drowned as glaciers melted after the end of the Younger Dryas period. I have to ask - they just stood there watching the water rise from their feet until they drowned? If so, good riddance to the fools!
