Global warming killed off the Mayans by locking leaders in violent power struggle
Daily Mail ^ | April 5, 2017 | By PHOEBE WESTON

The reason for the collapse of Mayan civilisation has been hotly debated, but now scientists claim they have an answer - climate change.

Researchers believe that hot weather made the Mayans more aggressive and therefore likely to fight one another.

As crops failed due to the rising temperatures leaders waged war for power which lit the fuse of their eventual demise around 900 AD, the study says.

With crops levels low Mayan leaders could no longer rely on brash festivals or building projects to keep their sujects happy.

So they resorted to power struggles and war instead which finished the mysterious civilisation off.

Researchers catalogued inscriptions related to violence on stone monuments and compared them to temperature and rainfall records for the lowlands of the Yucatán Peninsula, which includes mordern-day Mexico, Guatemala and Belize.

With Trump doing away with payments to the UN and our own EPA, grants to study this crap will be a thing of the past. Academics are now panicking.

Global warming is mighty. There is apparently nothing it cannot do. I think we should create more of it and learn to harness its awesome power.

Well, good, because if global warming is responsible for the extinction of a *civilization* (for lack of a better term cause they certainly weren’t civilized) like the Mayan, then there’s the hope the islamists will go the same route.

Global warming.

Bring it on.

The Maya eat lots of beans so the methane did it.

The sun is growing bigger so is hotter & hotter. Not man caused. And techtonic plate movement means f continents are still moving. Not man caused. Sure can affect climate, not caused by man. Glowbull warming!
