Climate change

Society suddenly finds itself put back into a state of momentary barbarism; it appears as if a famine, a universal war of devastation , had cut off the supply of every means of subsistence; industry and commerce seem to be destroyed; and why? Because there is too much civilisation, too much means of subsistence, too much industry, too much commerce
- Karl Marx
