We have read about what may have caused the dinosaurs and the ice age to disappear - yes, a major and abrupt climate change may be the culprit. But, do you know, climate change has also forced those habitants of the Tibetan plateau to abandon their farms and reorganize their society?

Yes, it all happened 700 years ago, when an abrupt change may have forced the Tibetan plateau people to reorganize their society completely, according to an anthropologist.
This is revealed by piecing together the causes of the Asian monsoon's shifting and how they adapted their culture. Thanks to Mark Aldenderfer of the University of Arizona is for threading the findings together to come up with this finding in far western Tibet.
Carrie Morrill at the National Climatic Data Center in Boulder, Colorado said,
The seasonal shift in the Asian monsoon had an interesting spatial pattern: It got drier in some areas, and it got wetter in other areas.
This 1300 A.D.'s environmental phenomenon will eventually lead us to understand the situation we will be in with any kinds of similar sorts of changes that might take place in the Asian monsoon amidst global warming process. It is also a 'paradigm' leading us to learn how to deal with such abrupt climate change.
