Weather really does affect stuff but a bigger part of Rome was internal decline. Seems most cultures are brought down by internal power struggles based on the self over the population as a whole. You have the guy who builds the empire by trade or conquest but eventually the decline comes when the folks at the top have the wrong folks whispering in their ear at court.
Last emperor of China never left the Forbidden City and listened to advisors wanting personal gain. When the country fell he had no clue about the rest of the empire as he had never seen it or the average citizen ever.

I disagree as to the Eastern Roman Empire. The Justinian Roman Empire was flourishing until it was hit by plague and climate change. Then, very shortly thereafter, it and the Sassanid Empire were steamrolled by the Caliphate
As to the Western Roman Empire, i agree.
