Were people in medieval Europe really shorter? Yes—here’s what bones, climate, and diets reveal about height across centuries. What surprised you most? #AverageHeight #LittleIceAge #MedievalHeight #MiddleAges #Nutrition

Getting ready for 2026 this morning by brainstorming “Heating up the Little Ice Age in Shakespeare,” a chapter for The Oxford Handbook of Shakespeare and the Natural World, ed. Karen Raber and Todd Borlik. @oxunipress.social #climatechange #extremeweather #LittleIceAge #Shakespeare

#SteveKoonan talking to Fox News anchor who states you get piled on if you do not follow the #ClimateChange #AGW #ClimateCrisis narrative
Which is now dying and unravelling as many scientists now see and how we did warm from the #LittleIceAge

No surprise that a 14th century Milanese friar would know of Norse voyages to North America. The same Danish Norsemen built Medieval Cathedrals in Calabria & Sicily in the 11th & 12th centuries. The Norsemen had the 1st TransOceanic Empire. The #LittleIceAge c.1300 made them retreat to Europe.
On #X, responding to someone else is a lying (proven over 7 years repeatedly) #ClimateChange #AGW #ClimateCrisis pusher who I have said the whole time is #CCP whipping up feelings of #Socialists
Claimed once again that the #LittleIceAge and #MedievalWarmPeriod were localized (idiot Mann)
Showed #ArtificialIntelligence a few graphs to do with #GlobalTemperature, #CO2 and #Paleoclimtology, #Holocene and the #MedievalWarmPeriod and #LittleIceAge on the subject of #ClimateChange
This is what it stated
Simbalito showing glacial striations
Simbalito is presenting glacial striations with the striations marked
Today: during #hedgewatch in the #Alps near the #Aletsch #glacier we found these glacial #striations. The scratches are probably from the #LittleIceAge .The glacier was much thicker. They are cut in by #rocks at the bottom of the glacier.

Same fight #LittleIceAge Only photosynthesis is the only engine of the carbon cycle. Only plants stored 99.9% of CO2 that was in the atmosphere on and below land. We destroyed half of photosynthesis, mostly for meat & dairy.

Some time ago I had a disagreement with #MichaelMann on #ClimateChange and pointed out his use of #DVI to claim the #MaunderMinimum and the #LittleIceAge were not global .. was wrong .. #CluadeSonnet #AI ..
Its the way ask
We should experiment with real-CDR©️ hear a lot more instead of tricky SRM?

Aletsch glacier with it's thickness at about 1850 marked
Same picture without the marking
Today is day 28 of #30DaysWild. The picture is from a #hedgewatch to the #Aletsch #glacier. The marking shows it's thickness at~1850/60 when a period called #LittleIceAge ended.
Nature changes constantly, but we should allow her to do it at her own speed
#IceAge #GeologyWithCats #climatechange
When we allow tropical forest to grow back - we trigger a little ice age on Earth.
Is this somehow relevant today?

I have highlighted some text. Highlights indicated below. Full text of screenshot (with original hypertext footnote markers removed for clarity):
"… primarily not upon whether witches existed but upon whether witches had the capability to control the weather. The Catholic Church in the Early Middle Ages argued that witches could not control the weather because they were mortals, not God, but by the mid-13th century, most people agreed with the idea that witches could control natural forces.
[highlighted portion begins] Jewish populations were also blamed for climatic deterioration during the Little Ice Age. The Western European states experienced waves of anti-Semitism, directed against the main religious minority in their otherwise Christian societies. There was no direct link made between Jews and the weather; they were blamed only for indirect consequences such as disease. Outbreaks of the Black Death were often blamed on Jews. In Western European cities during the 1300s, Jewish populations were murdered to stop the spread of the plague. Rumors spread that Jews were either poisoning wells themselves, or telling lepers to poison the wells. To escape persecution, some Jews converted to Christianity, while others migrated to the Ottoman Empire, Italy or the Holy Roman Empire, where they experienced greater toleration.

Some populations blamed the cold periods and the resulting famine and disease during the Little Ice Age on a general divine displeasure.

"If Jewish Space Lasers didn't exist, it would have been necessary to invent them, even in the Little Ice Age." — some fucking anti-Semite, probably.
Sucks to run into this when looking up the #LittleIceAge.

"This poem is written during the Ming-Qing Transition, where #ClimateChange ( #LittleIceAge) induced #droughts, #famines, #war & bubonic #plague reduced the population by ~60% in a very short span of a few decades…
Chart from #NationalGeographic from 1976 gets unearthed, will upset #ClimateChange fans as it claimed a downtrend in #GlobalTemperature heading back to the #LittleIceAge?
Oh dear oh dear

#ClimateChange news and studies reveal #LittleIceAge was global, as was the #MedievalWarmPeriod that effected #Antarctica?
Sorry #MichaelMann fans

Well the #AGW #ClimateChange crowd who are having to deal with the billions in funding being exposed, who previously tried to claim the #LittleIceAge in the #MaunderMinimum was not global and failed .. now have the #MedievalWarmPeriod problem

Article on the #LittleIceAge from 1250 (#MountSamalas erupted 1257 🤷♂️) to 1860
"#Volcanoes played a major role, but so did a minimum of solar activity. However, summers were by no means consistently wet and cool"

Climate shifts weakened some regions, making them vulnerable to conquest, while also influencing military logistics and social structures.

#Antarctica had its #SeaIce studied for the #Holecene period and shows it was affected in the #LittleIceAge as were #GlobalTemperatures
Personally explained to #MichaelMann that he was wrong and explained geological activity would have effects on nutrients
