Who is this guy?

This guy, Jared Diamond, is one of the authors that inspired me to write this blog. The below video from TED gives an insight about the him and how he approaches the topic

He listed a 5 point framework of the major factors that can contribute to a society collapsing:


  • Neighboring friendly societies
  • neighboring unfriendly societies
  • Climate change
  • Social/political/economic forces
  • Destruction of their environment or resource base
This blog will expand the last three factors with examples in future post! I hope his talk gave you an introduction into how climate change relate to social disorder/collapse. 

For those who are interested he has a booked called Collapse, info about his book can be found here
