Seriously. How else can one interpret this story on his blog?:

A new study suggests the Mayan civilization might have collapsed due to environmental disasters:
"'These models suggest that as ecosystems were destroyed by mismanagement or were transformed by global climatic shifts, the depletion of agricultural and wild foods eventually contributed to the failure of the Maya sociopolitical system,' writes environmental archaeologist Kitty Emery of the Florida Museum of Natural History in the current Human Ecology journal."
As we move towards solving the climate crisis, we need to remember the consequences to civilizations that refused to take environmental concerns seriously.
If you haven’t read already read it, take a look at Jared Diamond’s book, Collapse.
Gee... The Mayans were confronted with apocalyptic "climate change" when there was no internal combustion engine, no factories, no air conditioners and no private jets? Well what the hell caused it? And what does he mean we need to remember the consequences to civilizations that refuse to take environment concerns seriously? What were the Mayans supposed to do? Junk their SUVs??? Reduce the carbon footprint of their grass huts? Cap and trade the emissions from their camp fires? My God, Al! You just blew your whole scam. Dope.
