Earth Chronicles 4/1/2021
The earth is gradually moving into the next ice age, and this has been happening for the last 10,000 years. Today, modern civilization is on the verge of falling, and all this is associated with the Sun.
Societies thrive during periods of warmth and high solar activity, as evidenced by periods of Minoan, Roman and medieval warming.
Successful civilizations are built on an assumed constant and predictable climate, accompanied by solar highs, and civilizations that rely on its fragile infrastructure only grow as decades of reliable climate pass.
But when a constant is broken, it breaks quickly, and the system cannot adapt quickly enough to handle the cold.
If we look at the Roman Empire, it becomes obvious that the sun was at the heart of everything.
Period from 200 BC AD 150, when the Roman project was most successful, also coincided with what is often referred to as the “Roman climatic optimum,†when the weather became warmer due to high solar activity.
Pliny the Elder, writing in the first century AD, described how beeches, which used to grow only in the lowlands, began to climb into the mountains as temperatures rose. Olives and grapes were grown further and further north. The empire has turned into a giant greenhouse.
But the weather deteriorated sharply in AD 150-400, when solar energy plummeted – the “Roman transition period†– and reached its minimum temperature in the “Late Antique Little Ice Age†450-700 AD.
The growing season was shortened, food shortages arose, disease raged, millions died and the Empire collapsed.
Medieval Warm Period – from about 900 AD until 1300 AD – there was a time when global temperatures were 1.4C above current levels.
Oxygen isotope studies in Greenland, Ireland, Germany, Switzerland, Tibet, China, New Zealand and elsewhere, as well as tree ring data from many sites around the world, confirm a global period of medieval warming.
