    That’s a weird way of saying climate change. Looks inside:

    This collapse could be a result of global heating. “It’s not that much of a stretch to think, yes, we’re seeing one terrible ramification of human-caused climate change,” Shugar says.

      I feel like saying climate change anymore makes people gloss over. Specifics do matter. A glacier melting, extreme temperatures, droughts speak more to people than the word climate change. Especially cause people who haven’t accepted a climate disaster is unfolding just won’t at this rate.
