"The average temperature on Earth is now consistently 1 degree Celsius hotter than it was in the late 1800s, and that temperature will keep rising toward the critical 1.5-degree Celsius benchmark over the next five years, according to a new report from the World Meteorological Organization."

"Secessio Plebis" - source
Secessio plebis was an informal exercise of power by Rome's plebeian citizens, similar in concept to the general strike.

They would refuse to work or fight in the Army and it was very effective.
