Vaarana pikemminkin jääkausi ?

"Suomen väkiluku pieneni kolmanneksella" ("pieni jääkausi" 1683-1684)

"During the Maunder Minimum

During the Great Frost of (1683-1684) in England, the River Thames was completely frozen for two months, the ice was 11 inches thick at London. Sea ice was reported along the coasts of southeast England, and ice prevented the use of many harbors. The sea froze, so that ice formed for a time between Dover and Calais, joining England and France. The Thames was recorded to have frozen over at London during the years: 1649, 1655, 1663, 1666, 1667, 1684, 1695, 1709, and 1716. During the Little Ice Age, growing seasons in England and Continental Europe generally became short and unreliable, which led to shortages and famine.

These hardships were nothing compared to the more northerly countries: Glaciers advanced rapidly in Greenland, Iceland, Scandinavia and North America, making vast tracts of land uninhabitable. The Arctic pack ice extended so far south that several reports describe Eskimos landing their kayaks in Scotland.

Finland's population fell by one-third, Iceland's by half, the Viking colonies in Greenland were abandoned altogether, as were many Inuit communities"

  1. Modernissa historiassa tiedetään Niilin jäätyneen kahdesti (829 ja 1010). Esimerkiksi täällä, muutakin "hyödyllistä" nippelitietoa löytyy.

    Täällä puolestaan realclimate.orgin taustoista hiukan lisätietoa sinulle ja muille lukijoille.

  2. Ensimmäinen linkkisi ei valitettavasti avaudu ainakaan minulle ? Toinen linkki vie jollekin "aktivisti"-sivulle,en ehtinyt vielä lukea mitä siellä kerrotaan.
