Is there NOTHING for which Climate Change is not the culprit?

Well, I blame the weather personally....

Is there NOTHING for which Climate Change is not the culprit?

One could make the argument that even DJ Trump is a consequence of climate change 

More seriously, climatic perturbations are not good for civilizations built on assumptions about prior patterns of climate and agricultural production.  By the late Roman period in Britain huge amounts were having to be invested in corn dryers on agricultural estates as the weather turned colder and wetter.  The best pulling together of evidence for the impact of climate on history that I know is Geoffrey Parker's "Global Crisis : War, Climate Change & Catastrophe in the 17th Century" but that is out of our period. 

However, it seems a bit daft to blame a conspiracy on climate change.  The climate might have had effects that increased peoples' propensity to conspire but the basic problem was the age old question "what have the Romans ever done for us?"
