One thing that I find interesting is the changes that happened to landscapes within human timescales, that are usually completely ignored or downplayed anywhere that stuff is portrayed. Things like rivers shifting course, coastlines that change, lakes that disappear, etc... A historical map using modern-day topography is wrong & leads to false interpretations.

One of the wildest theories I've seen is that the Columbian Exchange [of plagues] suddenly depopulating the civilizations living in the Amazon Basin, left land that had been agricultural for centuries to re-wild and the sudden (over a century) regrowth of the Amazon rainforest sucked so much carbon out of the air that the climate cooled.

[@splashafrica]

Sounds like a neat theory at first but doesn't really work when you take into account that Little Ice Age started in 1300s/1400s. Besides, even if it had only began in 1600s, that's way too little time for CE to affect climate enough to cause LIC. There's also some evidence in Mayan and Aztec chronicles of LIC in Mesoamerica.

While it is disputed a lot of musicians believe that one member of this family created instruments completely unique and superior to other similar ones. They can go for millions of dollars if sold or auctioned off. One of current theories about why they are so good is the wood used in their construction is denser than normal and thus enhancing the sound of the instrument

the northen pole ice doesnt raise the sea level , but only the melting in Antarticas and Greenlands ice because this ice are on land and when it melts it adds to the water to the seas rather than the northen pole that is a sea and therefore already included in the total war level. Hope to include in future video!

[@KeVIn-pm7pu]

thermal expansion. colloquial greenland is part of the northern pole.

[@Argacyan]

One way in which sea ice can contribute to sea level rise is because it is present at places where land ice meets the sea, such as in the case of Greenland (and the sea along antarctica). There it can slow down the motion of land glaciers, like a buttplug stuck in a drain can hold back water draining. If you remove that buttplug of ice in the sea, land ice starts flowing into the sea at an increasing rate.

IIRC during the coldest period the Baltic Sea in the winter was traversable on foot/sled. People were building temporary taverns in the middle of it.

[@benhur2806]

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.

Among many other influenced pieces of history, it would be interesting to explore how badly the coldest period affected Scandinavia, possibly acting as a driving influence on the Great Northern War.

I remember a theory from my World History since 1500 class that a potential contributor to the Little Ice Age was the mass depopulation of the Americas due to the introduction of diseases from Europe. The Americas saw a 90% drop in the Human population, which meant mass reforestation of urban areas and a drop in man-made CO2 emissions.

[@KeVIn-pm7pu]

Unlikley man made emissions at that time were not enough at all to have an effect on the climate.

[@watcherzero5256]

A nice theory but sadly in the south americas they cultivated their crops amongst the trees rather than clearing large areas for mono-crop arable farmland, so there wasnt much forest regrowth going on. The global cooling started a couple of centuries before Columbus and the population in Asia and Europe was also growing by 25-50% per century during the period. My theory from looking at dates of the coldest winters was theres a high correlation with a pattern of coming roughly two years after major volcanic eruptions on the opposite side of the planet with the ash thrown up being carried by atmospheric winds.

[@forresteveretttownsend7570]

In that thesis it’s not really the reforestation that is presumed to be the affect, it’s the century of drop off of raised C02 level through the constant forest burn practices

[@highbahamut6188]

i remember that Genghis khan did something similar he ended up killing so many farmers that the unused field reforested and helped cool the planet

[@zackakai5173]

That seems unlikely given that people in the Americas pre-European contact weren't generally in the habit of clearing huge swaths of woodland for agriculture. Even where there was agriculture, mound building, and other infrastructure, the deforestation wasn't nearly significant enough to have such a large effect on the climate.

[@samrevlej9331]

The sad thing is, the glacier at the beginning, called "the Sea of Ice", has shrunk so much we think it may disappear during the coming years, due to a very different form of climate change. Chamonix is in the Alps and is the birthplace of alpinism (one ot them at least), and also home to one of the biggest ski resorts in Europe. But global warming has caused the snow line in the Alps and other mountain ranges to retreat and is threatening the future of many of these stations, with hundreds of thousands of jobs at risk of disappearing.

[@savabout6487]

Climatology and it’s impact on history is incredibly important and not discussed enough in vernacular history. In the 6th century there was a period of drastic cooling most likely to volcanic activity. The shift in climate meant smaller crop yields in the eastern roman. It created better also helped spread the first bubonic plague (Yersinia pestis) by creating better conditions for fleas. The cooling climate also drove more Slavic tribes south into the empire causing more political strife. Even worse, the cooling lead to an increase in rain in the Arabian peninsula. Which met better crop yields and larger population which set the stage for the Arab/Muslim conquest.

[@MerkhVision]

Kinda fucked up that you say the spread of Islamic Civilization is “even worse” than famine and disease… the scientific, cultural, and artistic output of that culture kept the light of humanity and civilization alive when Europe was going through really rough times - the Early Middle “Dark” Ages, and knowledge from the Muslim world paved the way for the Renaissance and later helped bring about the Enlightenment that we still benefit from today. Let’s not forget the good things about it just because that part of the world has its problems and regression today. They’re worse off now than historically because of the dominance of backwards religious extremists dominating their politics (largely due to western manipulation btw), which wasn’t always the case.

Hearing "Chamonix, France" made me cring so much. It was Savoy at that time, but I guess an American audience would have no clue to where it is, and they sticked to modern borders...

I don’t know why people outside scandinavia focus so much on the Little Ice Age or cold for the failure of the Greenlandic settlements. It failure just goes so perfect with the political situation and economics. Greenland was established because ofthe riches found in ivory and pelt. The activity there had been going down for a few hundred years when 1400 comes rolling around, as Europe oppened new trade rutes that made greenlandic ivory and pelt less valuable. Then when Norway joined the Kalmar Union trade was restricted so that they could not trade directly with Iceland. Instead all trade had to go through traders in Bergen -Norway. Those traders were then killed during a raid as part of the Hansactic wars, which effectivly isolated Greenland.

I grieve in stereo, the stereo sounds strange I know that if you hide, it doesn't go away If you get out of bed, and find me standing all alone Open-eyed, burn the page, my little ice age

Nice

"Radioactive sun"??? Quite literally yes, as in, emits EM radiation, but (most) of the energy comes from nuclear fusion and isn't dependent on radioactive decay... Sorry to point it out, I'm a long time viewer and don't want to bring anyone down, thanks for the vids, shalom (peace)

[@anthonyschroeder521]

Indeed. The earth as a whole gets ~50% of its energy from radioactive heavy elements within the mantle/core, but such heating should be fractions of fractions of a percent in the sun.

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.

The idea of a glacier moving forward in a visible amount year by year is crazy to me.

[@captnaberystwyth2879]

We're still in the ice age till the glaciers are gone.

[@jaysmith1408]

Are these coming back to podcasts?

[@duke0200]

So how much did the industrial resolution starting in Britain (or wherever) around the 1800s affect the little ice age?

[@kadper]

Its so sad at chamonix, they have marked where the glacier was and where it is now. You see how it has melted like ten meters in just five years.

[@munsterlandr1644]

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

[@benjamincolon5486]

Can you extra history do a history of the Caribbean leading up to the Spanish colonization and the culture of the taino people

[@PiyushSinghSisodia-om8nx]

He really wanted to exorcis the glacier.😂😂

A very interesting video is “Little Ice Age, Big Chill.” It’s older but more thorough.

[@ryangalinat952]

One thing we did learn from this video is that the warming is good for the crops

[@Fox531CD]

Interesting series, but, I was wondering...I just noticed that this series doesn't have its playlist. It really should. It's a multi-part series, so shouldn't it have a playlist to itself like so many other multi-part series?

[@iRobotray]

I think MGMT made a song about The Little Ice Age
