Who to blame for Early Modern limate change?
#history #science #ClimateChange #LittleIceAge
The Little Ice Age was a period of intense cooling between the 16th and late 18th centuries. Ice fairs were a common sight on the River Thames in London during winter. Environmental historians and climate scientists now realise that this period had substantial effects at the time and led to writings which can now be examined to help understand how people were effected.

"While the genre paintings of Rembrandt van Rijn, Johannes Vermeer, and Jan Steen are forever relegated to the 1600s, Bruegel and Avercamp painted views that, until recently, remained a common sight in every Dutch and Belgian village."

Some climate change deniers use the Little Ice Age, a period of regional cooling from the 14th to the 19th century, to argue against human-caused global warming. However, this fallacy ignores this event's scientific evidence and historical context. The Little Ice Age was not a global phenomenon but a local one influenced by various factors, such as volcanic eruptions, solar activity, and ocean currents. #LittleIceAge #ClimateChange #Denial https://www.salon.com/2023/08/07/what-climate-change-deniers-get-totally-about-the-little-ice-age/

@bethroots @Dianora Thank you for your kind note. My dad never talked about the war & very little about stuff that he & his family had to deal with during WWI & its aftermath, i.e. inflation, then #GreatDepression, then Hitler and then WWII. And yes - I am sure your in-laws could tell a tale - most likely of man's inhumanity to man. Reading the history of #Europe is horrifying for sure. The #FeudalSystem, #BlackDeath, #Famines, #LittleIceAge, #SpanishIquisition, and war after war after war.
