They certainly got their scaremongering done in the title ‘climate changed doomed’...

The Scotsman was a little more responsible with their headline “Was climate change responsible for driving ancient Scots out of glen?”

They also have a weather claim the other article did not have {guess ‘colder weather’ references are still banned in some press}

“They claim this period is marked by the start of a colder, wetter climate.”

two references...

“”Certainly, in some parts it seems to have become colder and wetter after about 1,200BC, and the people may have moved away.””

and more

“Neal Ascherson, visiting Professor at the Institute of Archaeology, University College London, said climate change brought an end to “this strange, idyllic period of late Neolithic and Bronze Age in this area”.

He said: “The weather, which was dryer and finer than it is now, seems to have come to an end around 1,000BC, when it began to change and the whole ecology began to alter. At the same time, culture changed.”

Thanks for that, especially the link.

Also some interesting remarks re: Hekla eruption, before it devolved into an AGW crevo type “debate”.
