You're missing the point: climate change which WAS NOT brought on by human carbon emissions, but instead was natural change in the earth.
During the time of the Roman Empire, North Africa and Egypt were vast grain producing regions. The drying up of North Africa and reduction in grain production contributed to the fall of Rome.

Your point is well-taken, nevertheless, to link it to the fall of the Roman empire is a big much of a leap

During the time of the Roman Empire, North Africa and Egypt were vast grain producing regions. The drying up of North Africa and reduction in grain production contributed to the fall of Rome. And the ensuing cold drove the Goths and the Visigoths south, into Roman territory.
