reforestation of agricultural lands-abandoned as the population collapsed-pulled so much carbon out of the atmosphere that it helped trigger a period of global cooling, at its most intense from approximately 1500 to 1750, known as the Little Ice Age.

I get the feeling that the researchers started out with a conclusion already in mind, and looked for research to support it. Which is the worst kind of scientific research.

Was that much land under cultivation in the Americas? Nearly all Indian tribes were hunter-gatherers and had no cultivated land at all.

Eastern and Southern Indian tribes were cultivators, a slash and burn type of agriculture..........
