Our latest weekly roundup of academic #ClimateResearch related to our climate blunder includes 144 reports, by 826 contributing investigators.

We're certainly not suggesting the article is science fiction, but fans of #IsaacAsimov's #FoundationTrilogy and central character #HarrySeldon may find one #OpenAccess item particularly interesting: "Phase synchronization between culture and climate forcing," via Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences.

The idealized stochastic mathematical model simulates boom/bust cycles between low-population subsistence, high-density resource exploitation and subsequent population decline."
