- The Distribution of Environmental Damages (2019, background): “A large number of historical analyses suggest that conflict and the breakdown of social order are regular responses to the large-scale reorganization of climate-related wealth (Kuper and Kröpelin, 2006; Yancheva et al., 2007; Haug et al., 2003; Bai and Kung, 2010; Chaney, 2013), but little is known ”

- Global Catastrophic Risks (2008, background): “A century of reduced rain, including three droughts, apparently drove the Mayans from their cities and dramatically reduced their population, even though the Mayans had great expertise and experience with irrigation and droughts (Haug et al., 2003).”
- Improving water use in crop production (2008, background): “The decline of the Maya civilization has been attributed to droughts of increasing frequency and severity between AD 750 and 1050 (e.g. Haug et al. 2003; Hodell et al. 2005).”

(2018, neutral): “…been linked to fluctuations in climate (Dell, Jones, and Olken 2012; Kim 2014; Burke and Leigh 2010; Chaney 2013), and several historical cases of societal collapse have been compellingly attributed to climate change (Cullen et al. 2000; Haug et al. 2003; Buckley et al. 2010; Büntgen et al. 2011).”
