AS CLIMATE KEEPS CHANGING (October 2, 2009)

It is good to occasionally review the world order in the broadest of terms. Once climate changed, hunters and gatherers were replaced by herders. When the herders settled, peasantry was formed. Soon afterwards, landed gentry came into place. At some point bourgeoisie appeared, followed by industrial workers. Landed gentry battled with both peasantry and bourgeoisie. Soon afterwards, landed gentry disappeared, followed by the peasantry. Bourgeoisie battled with industrial workers. Now that the world order has started falling apart on account of climate change, peasantry will reappear, to be followed by landed gentry. Landed gentry will battle with peasantry and bourgeoisie. Industrial workers will disappear, followed by bourgeoisie. Once climate change takes extreme forms, herders will reappear. Landed gentry and peasantry will disappear. In the end, herders will be replaced by hunters and gatherers, thus closing the cycle. So much is abundantly clear. Now, where will you be as climate keeps changing? Mind you, this time around the world order will be changing at a clip.
