I’m taking Mrs. Renfield to Charleston to celebrate our 25th anniversary. I’ll be out of commission for a week or so.

However, the impact of environmental change was compounded by disruptions to the regional interaction sphere. What, in the name of St Noah of Webster, is a "regional interaction sphere?"

I find it impossible to read anything that uses “BCE.” It is an immediate giveaway that there is some defective thinking going on.

Shoot, I thought this was a Prepper article about the disease and trauma in the US during OUR coming collapse.

This article sounds like someone with something to prove to support his politically correct assumptions about our society now.

"Observations of the intersection between climate change and social processes in proto-historic cities offer valuable lessons about vulnerability, insecurity, and the long-term consequences of short-term strategies for coping with our own climate change."There was not a lot of evidence presented indicating that climate change causes those in the privileged ranks of soceity to bash in the skulls of those less fortunate. However, if I were Michael Mann, I would be very, very careful.

I, on the other hand, interpret BCE as Before Christian Era, in which form it makes perfect sense.
BC, on the other hand, means Before Christ. When exactly was that? If Christ is God, and God is eternal, then there cannot be a time before Christ.

I find it impossible to read anything that uses BCE. It is an immediate giveaway that there is some defective thinking going on. Me, too.
Just to annoy these so-called "historian-experts," I play dumb and ask 'em what does "BCE" stand for?
"Before the Common Era."
"Oh? Common to what? Oh...I notice the zero point for your measurement JUST HAPPENS to correspond to Christ's birth...do you mind if I call it 'Before the Christian Era'?"
Then sit back, relax, watch the apopleptic fit set in. ;)

I took a technical writing class in college many moons ago. We had a guest speaker one day who handed out these neat triple wheels to generate buzz phrases to jazz up our work. Meant in complete satire, that sort of thing has clearly now become serious academic work.
Read about the buzzword generator here; worthwhile:

How about “GAL” and stop obsessing about trivia like abbreviations for brevity?

The concept of “Common Era” dates back to the 17th Century - it’s nothing new. The designation CE/CBE was originally developed by Jewish scholars in the 19th Century to secularize scientific writing - Anno Domini just doesn’t pass muster in some cultures. Considering the contributions of Jewish academics in Europe, it’s quite understandable.

The culture was seemingly at its height when the end came (collapse attributed to climatic change)...When they say climatic change do they by chance mean mass immigration from inferior cultures mixed with rampant homosexuality? Maybe I'm just projecting.

What, in the name of St Noah of Webster, is a "regional interaction sphere?" I think you see one whenver Chris Christie walks fast.

Hmm, I think in “normal people English” this translates to “They had a drought, then farmed their land to dust trying to continue to squeeze crops out of the soil.”. Do I get a cookie?
