ROME — Long before the industrial revolution and fossil fuels, “climate change” was wreaking havoc on the health of ancient Romans, Smithsonian magazine contends.
Citing a study published in the journal Science Advances, Smithsonian underscores a correlation between cold, dry periods in ancient Rome and “devastating bouts of fatal illness” between 200 BC and 600 AD.
Whereas Rome enjoyed stable weather from 200 to 100 BC, it later suffered “three very cold periods,” all of which “line up with documented plagues,” states Smithsonian writer Sarah Kuta.

This is the 2nd totally insane article I’ve seen on Breitbart in past 2 days. The earlier article, on another forum, I commented the Breitbart would roll over in his grave to see his creation used like this.

You’re right. Breitbart’s liberal nutcases are riding the reputation of a great conservative. They should move over to some failed liberal rag or be fired.
It harder to build credible reputation - than to tear one down.

Te earth is coming out of an ice age. It’s has been for 12-13,000 years. It’s moving back towards a warmer climate. It’s called “normal.”

Climate does change naturally. In in the year 536 there was a massive volcanic eruption in the area of Krakatoa. The resulting volcanic winter was very bad for the planet.

Natural climate change caused problems in ancient Rome.
Thus, it is obvious climate change was not caused by CO2.
Climate change is always happening.

From the article: “Curiously, all three of these ancient Roman plagues are believed to have originated in China and traveled to the West via the Silk Road.”
Huh. Whaddya know. It’s almost like there’s something going on there that creates the proper environment for evolution of deadly viruses or something.

Well, the consequence of voicing this nonsense is destruction of all credibility.
Someone must be paying them to do it.

If they had only banned the use of natural gas, they would have have greatly reduced their carbon sandal print.
