LiveScience posted an interesting story and video today on how changes in climate have affected past civilizations. The 3-minute video focuses on the impacts of the Little Ice Age, a time when the earth was about 1 degree F colder than present due to decreased solar radiation and higher volcanic activity. Some civilizations adapted easily to the change, while others taxed more heavily and invaded surrounding countries to try to gather more resources. If you are interested in history, you will enjoy it. It’s at https://www.livescience.com/54278-climate-change-past-offers-future-solutions.html.
