[QUOTE="Ten, post: 4142125, member: 61587"] That's exactly the point though, they don't question. If something is very, very gradual, humans tend to completely ignore it. Hey, I'll be dead before it affects me, so no use trying to adjust for the future! Pretty soon, you are looking at your winter stores and realizing that someone you know, as it is a pretty small settlement, is going to die of starvation. It's easy to fall into helplessness when you are isolated, your last contact with the outside world is measured in years, and a strong young man of 18 left a month ago to try and make contact and has not come back since. As for the malaise...well, I said big cataclysm, right? Who's to say what ecological effects that could have on surrounding areas? I can certainly imagine a change in temperature that doesn't bother the humans too much could cause massive agricultural issues as well as animals migrating away. [/QUOTE]
