Science News resource, regarding

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)[reply]

New study

http://www.colorado.edu/news/releases/2012/01/30/new-cu-led-study-may-answer-long-standing-questions-about-enigmatic-little may be interesting William M. Connolley (talk) 20:11, 1 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I added references to this study yesterday. Geoffrey.landis (talk) 20:35, 1 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
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)[reply]
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)[reply]

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)[reply]

"...with seasonal inns built on the way." Heh. Pity there's no RS. Maybe they were Ice Inns?? <G> --Pete Tillman (talk) 19:17, 4 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Change in Earth's climate due to

The sun basically turned in mohamet's time or around 582 ad a giant world wide earthquake sunk the globe. There are accounts from you poorly documented historians that did not question this fact. Yes, the earth sinks for unknown reasons. When the sun is traveling through our galaxy it can turn and cause planets to sink. However, the earth came out of the ice age when the comet of 1812 realigned its position with a wobble motion. There was also a typhoon that destroyed the mongulian invasion around the 1200s and a crab nebula which exploded 1054. The typhoon was from the crab nebula. In Cosmological terms, this turn is represented by a zodiacal cycle. At the begining and end of a cycle or transition ie from pisces to aquarius, the sun will turn. Believe it or not, the sun travels or progresses through space yet it is called a fixed star because it does so in its outer edge. Basically the sun turned again though and realigned itself. It makes small turns. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Asfd777 (talk • contribs) 09:39, 26 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Correlation with lower CO2?

The addition to the lead of "There may be a correlation with lower CO2 atmospheric concentrations (as inferred from ice cores)." doesn't seem to be matched by any text or sources in the article. The lead should summarise the article, not introduce unsupported speculation. . dave souza, talk 16:08, 4 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I agree. --Stephan Schulz (talk) 17:35, 4 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Peterlewis reverted, referring to a curve in the article: this seems to be the Law Dome. I've summarised the source as "Lower CO2 atmospheric concentrations found in Antarctic ice cores may have resulted from the colder global climate." This avoids the suggestion that CO2 was a cause, apparently OR by PL. Not sure if this detail belongs in the lead. dave souza, talk 17:46, 4 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Well, it is mentioned lower down in the article so why not in the lead?Peterlewis (talk) 18:33, 4 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
