3195BC + 2004AD = 5199 (or "5200 years ago").
Or am I missing something...???
Both Lonnie Thompson and my uncle are published in this particular annal. :-)

Since "broadleafed plant species" is a bush, you are saying that it IS BUSH'S fault!!!!
Fred Flintstone's SUV.
Those Ohio State professors are going to have to wish for a power outage instead..
Hehehe........
Trees are good at recording history - when turned into paper.
Impossible!
A lie!
Never happened!
A calumny and attack on the Bugs and Bunny crowd and the Enviro-leeches!
This is an outrage!
... the poor dears may have to go out and find real productive jobs!
3195 BC fits right in...
Evidence shows that around 5,200 years ago, solar output first dropped precipitously and then surged over a short period. It is this huge solar energy oscillation that Thompson believes may have triggered the climate change he sees in all those records.
...we should be extremely cautious in how much we ‘tweak’ the system,” he said.
WE NEED LAWS PROHIBITING SUN-TWEAKING!
KERRY, KENNEDY, CLINTON SAAAVEEE USSS!
I fear that the the first snap to Justin Zwick will trigger a solar osscilation of biblical proportions.
We won't be toast. We'll be popsicles.
Saharan civilization may date back to 12Kya, and at that time was similar to the Amazonian plains (quite lush). One thing that nags me is the continental positions at the time were somewhat different than "now", and at the end of the Wisconsin glaciation, with the seas neatly 300' (100m) lower than now, it would have far been easier for early man to have hunted & fished his way from Europe to north America, then the Beringa Ice bridge.
Fresh water (melt), fish , and game would have been readily available form France to Great Britain, to Iceland, Greenland, then to Canada. Very few credible artifacts have been found in eastern russia earlier than 4000 old. Artifacts 10-15KY old have been found out on the continental shelf while hunting "treasure", but are usually "socked away" for fear of upsetting the great lie of "native Americans" (They were no way near "first")
JMNSHO - YMMV.
I've read that during the last major ice age England went from measurably warmer than it is today to glaciated in less than 100 years.
It was Bush's ancient ancestors' fault.
5,000 years ago is about the time of the Great Flood.
It is interesting the line Little Ice Age,from 1450 to 1850 A.D.
A span of 400 years due to natural events.We have 20-50 years of an apparent warming trend,which is somewhat inevitable only 100 years after a cooling trend,and look at how quickly not just man but coincidently affluent western society is accused of destroying the world.
what has Oetzi got to do with it? He was alive about 5,200 years ago, and...?
30 tree joke posts and no Al Bore...............how soon do we forget
Agreed. The point is not clear.
Are we getting warmer or colder?
"I've read that during the last major ice age England went from measurably warmer than it is today to glaciated in less than 100 years.
The global warming melts the N Pole ice cap....casusing additional fresh water in the North Atlantic that TURNS OFF THE GULF STREAM
Hence a mini-ice age in Europe.
