this is quite amazing.
it also puts the "no evidence humans causing climate change" folks in a tough spot.
Interesting, thanks Trip.
Wow, that is really interesting! A very plausible explanation for a long-standing mystery.
Yeah, though I might have posted too soon, dunno how reliable it is as I read a comment on HN that the Little Ice Age might have started decades before 1492. Then again that guy might have been talking out of his ass, I don't know.
Fucker did it on purpose.

It's always worth more investigation. If it all ends up lining up, it would be really great to have historical evidence of human-influenced climate change.
