Exactly. The majority of civilized and technologized societies reside in the northern part of the northern hemisphere. If they fell apart there would be major wars over resources in the tropical climes.

I've heard it said that the glacial maximum periods are characterized by wind. If that means that Kansas, Colorado, Wyoming etc. are basically calm places now I don't even want to think about it. lol

From what I've seen, although glaciers formed in the mountains, the ice didn't come down into the U.S. intermountain West. I imagine that means Colorado would be a windblown steppe. I suppose T. Boone Pickens would like that, but few others would!
