Columbus' arrival linked to carbon dioxide drop "Depopulation of Americas may have cooled climate" by Devin Powell November 5th, 2011; Vol.180 #10 (p. 12); excerpt ...
The European conquest of the Americas decimated the people living there, leaving large areas of cleared land untended. Trees that filled in this territory pulled billions of tons of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, Stanford University geochemist Richard Nevle reported October 11 at the Geological Society of America annual meeting. Such carbon dioxide removal could have diminished the heat-trapping capacity of the atmosphere and cooled the climate, Nevil and his colleagues have previously reported.

- This possible cause was already discussed in the "Decreased human populations" section of the article, but I added the Science News reference you posted as an additional citation in the section. By the way, the abstract of the actual paper is here: http://gsa.confex.com/gsa/2011AM/finalprogram/abstract_196092.htm Geoffrey.landis (talk) 20:53, 1 February 2012 (UTC)
[edit] New study

- I added references to this study yesterday. Geoffrey.landis (talk) 20:35, 1 February 2012 (UTC)
- So you did; thank you. I prefer to leave these things to settle for a little while rather than adding them immeadiately, which is why I dumped it on the talk page to come back to later. But I don't object to you adding this one William M. Connolley (talk) 20:39, 1 February 2012 (UTC)
- It seemed relevant. Particularly the dating section is of interest, since apparently the dates of the LIA are not well constrained. Geoffrey.landis (talk) 20:54, 1 February 2012 (UTC)

- This Science Now article might be a better secondary source, and has an interesting comment from Gavin Schmidt. --Pete Tillman (talk) 22:16, 5 February 2012 (UTC)
[edit] Frozen Baltic
I removed "The Baltic Sea froze over, enabling sledge rides from Poland to Sweden, with seasonal inns built on the way". It is an urban legend, not supported by any reliable evidence. The cited source, [1], itself does not cite any source. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Grzes (talk • contribs) 18:53, 9 February 2012 (UTC)
