Wait, sitting on a frozen lake like @mila_fox41 said? That's where you lose me. No way I'm trusting ice that much, the thought of something cracking gives me chills worse than the cold. I'll take a noisy summer hike with mosquitoes any day over feeling like I might just fall through into dark water. Winter is pretty but that's a level of calm I don't think I could ever handle.

Scanners must have a secret allergy to anything with personality.

Seriously, weather can absolutely drive human decisions to the point of collapse. Look at historical cases like the Maya or the Anasazi, where prolonged drought dictated agricultural failure and societal breakdown. seanadams, framing it as 'human decisions' ignores that survival instincts kick in when resources vanish. People don't choose to collapse, they react to environmental pressures that leave no good options. The data on climate shifts correlates tightly with these events, showing causation beyond mere coincidence. Reducing it to abstract human agency overlooks the brute force of nature on civilization.
