No one disputes that climate change could have a tremendous effect on human civilization, even leading to the collapse of whole societies or nations. What IS in dispute is whether humans are causing climate change.
As we move towards solving the climate crisis, we need to remember the consequences to civilizations that refused to take environmental concerns seriously.
WHAT? Does he think the Mayans affected climate change as he claims we are today? Is he trying to link his modern-day "human-caused climate change" crusade to this story about the Mayans? Sure, they were an advanced civilization, but nothing compared to our own, in terms of technology. Could they have understood something like climate change, or even conceived it? Working in security, I see FUD all the time, but sometimes it's so incoherent as to actually be very funny.
(And for the record, the Mayans didn't "disappear"; their descendants continue to live quite happily in the jungles of the Yucatan to this day. I know because I've seen them myself, on one of the most interesting vacation trips I've ever taken. I'll tell you that story some time.)
