The Little Ice Age: Climate Change – Part 1 – Extra History

although i'm an atheist by belief, i'm a high church Christian from Anglican and Roman traditions by upbringing and education.

i actually think that there is some reason behind religions related to the weather– or at least that any deity you give your respect to, needs to have a feat under their belt pertaining to the weather, because it is very relevant to agriculture which we all actually need to go well.

that is why i find it is a bit saddening that not enough talk is shared discussing Jesus' calming of the sea, because Christians ordinarily do not care about the weather all that much (compared to worshippers of Thor and Zeus, lol). But in actuality, back in Jesus' time, he definitely knew that the ability to calm the sea, was important, and the witnesses agreed it was important, too, and were impressed that he could command the weather.

even if the talk were critical or questioning and skeptical, my point is that relationships to the weather are -important-, and what people are saying or doing with or about the weather is always worth talking about. 🙂
likewise it is fascinating to me the interesting places where astrology and astronomy just happen to overlap and the overlap between alchemy and chemistry.

the elements of nature — are they gods themselves, the toys of gods, or are they greater than gods? are they people, are they objects for people to control, or are they forces greater than people? the two sets of three questions are not the same, but all six questions should be asked every day.

when a meteor decides it might be time to visit Earth again, i will not complain about who stops it from hitting us and will accept help from just about anyone! @.@

The little ice age wasn't global. I believe it was restricted mostly to Europe

Nonsense. Everyone knows Edward II was deposed because he didn't keep his promise to the swans.

Can't wait for the anthrax pandemic to happen.

That Tears of the Kingdom reference was so well-placed!

Wonder if putting ash on it would have helped? As it would have changed the reflective properties of it and maybe have slowed it down.

Love the Tears of the Kingdom shout out

And now we see if this happens again as expected or if the global warming people are somehow correct despite the evidence against them. Either way it will suck to live near the coast.

Holy Cow!!! 'Climate Change' BEFORE the industrial Revolution. It's almost as if the climate can drastically change even without all that bad, evil, no good, bad, vile CO2 entering the atmosphere in large post-industrialization amounts.

Is this a reference to that song little dark age

Dithering over in which exact century these climatic shifts occurred seems pretty academic, when taken in the perspective of geologic time. ALL of this was the briefest of moments ago, relative to the actual scale of macroclimatic change over time. In the bigger picture, we are reckoned to be in the midst of the Holocene Epoch, an interglacial period which started around 11k years ago. Not the end of, but in the midst of, and certainly not guaranteed to remain warm. I think all the hysteria fostered over the decades about "global warming" by public figures curiously disinclined to walk the walk they talk is just more hokum by those who wish to sell us a solution to a problem they simply made up. However, if somehow humankind actually had the capability to affect any deliberate change on macroclimatic trends, we'd all best hope that capability was bent toward warming the planet, rather than fostering a cooling trend. =9[.]9=

It makes you wonder. If our best and brightest can't figure out what happened back then what time zone and the full reason why the mini ice age happened. Then how does our current scientist really have a clue as to what is happening now? I get the feeling we're just bubbling around in the dark and clueless.

Just vote democrat they can control the weather

Correcrion: The -1.5 to -2 figure is incorrect for the entire world, looking at the estimated global temperature average the drop was more around -0.2. The drop in temperature was most pronounced in the North Atlantic region though, where I'd imagine the figure would be more accurate, alongside Europe and North America, given their weather, especially Europe's is heavily influenced by the North Atlantic. Iceland and Greenland would have been affected especially hard by this too, given their mild climate is reliant upon the North Atlantic to moderate its temperature.

It's a natural occurrence.

Cool!

It's not a theory then, it's a hypotheses.

Some named sales is the most french thinf eeve

I personally think that the climate situation the world is going through currently is like the Little Ice Age but with warming instead of cooling. Though Human activity is definitely accelerating the shift and making it a bit worse.

21st century: STOP PRAYING ALREADY

tempted to put frostpunk sfx over the part at the start because DAMN it would fit

You shouldnt trash on the word "theory" too much. a modern theory is the most accepted explanation of what we observe. Gravity, Evolution, Atomic Theory, Quantum Mechanics, all Theory's, all of them are the best explanation for what we are able to observe.
