Pfffttt! Seems like someone would be able to refute this chart. Maybe m. mann? ๐. In the overall scheme of muvver erf we don’t know squat. And, guess who doesn’t care. Muvver erf. Thanks for the chart. In my feeble little pea brain, warm is somewhat easier to survive than the other scenario.

The Minoan Warm Period almost exactly corresponds to the Era of Judges (Moses to Samuel). The Greek Dark Age cooling period corresponds to the Era of Kings (beginning with King Saul). Jesus and His disciples lived in the Roman Warm Period. It was during the Dark Age cooling period that the Anglos and Saxons were displaced from Germany (call it my ancestors Trail of Tears). It was during the Medieval Warm Period that England really became a thing. The Little Ice Age cooling period was when it was too hard to do land routes from Europe to Asia (that, combined with the Barbary pirates and the Muslim takeover of Constantinople is why the King of Spain hired Columbus to see if one could sail west to Asia). The LIA was also the time of massive takeovers of many peoples as everyone was desperate for food (crop yields way down during the LIA and rain patters really hard to predict and large increase in deaths by plague). Both the massive African slave trade (300K to 500K brought to what we today call the U.S.) and the European slave trade (1 to 1.5 million whites taken to north Africa as slaves) were during this time.
Then the Modern Warm Period brought happier times with higher crop yields, more predictable rain, and less deaths by plague. We used to embrace it and be glad we lived in it. In fact, the political scam global cooling scare of the 1970's was an acknowledgement that the Modern Warm Period is a great time to be alive (the lie was them saying it was over and it wasn't going to last 4 to 6 centuries like the prior warming periods). NASA used to produce charts much like the one I post -- until the 1990's when Clinton/Gore directed govt money towards only the "research" that made the Modern Warm Period look both unique and bad.
