[Tell It Right]

Any article about 4,000 years ago should be a reminder that the Holocene Climate Optimum was warmer than our Modern Warm Period. Between then and now there were three other warm periods, with each cycle from temp epoch to temp epoch lasting about 1,000 years.

We know that during the Little Ice Age that Europeans switched from a mainly cereal diet to potatoes because the cereals couldn't handle the harsh droughts followed by gully washer rains as well as potatoes could. No telling how much real climate change (not the Dim version of climate change) impacted diets from before man started writing history.

And, where’s my Water Pick? ;)
