Read here. A new peer-reviewed study finds that global cooling climate change leads to major social instabilities (due to worsening weather/climate conditions), including outbreaks of devastating war. In essence, Chinese data and historical records indicate temperature warming leads to paradise and cooling to hell. This study refutes the speculative, catastrophic predictions of AGW alarmists regarding the impact of warming on society.
[Zhibin Zhang et al] "Here, using historical records and palaeoclimatic reconstructions during AD 10–1900, we demonstrate that war frequency, price of rice, locust plague, drought frequency, flood frequency and temperature in China show two predominant periodic bands around 160 and 320 years where they interact significantly with each other. Temperature cooling shows direct positive association with the frequency of external aggression war to the Chinese dynasties.....with the frequency of internal war within the Chinese dynasties through drought and locust plagues. The collapses of the agricultural dynasties of the Han, Tang, Song and Ming are more closely associated with low temperature. Our study suggests that food production during the last two millennia has been more unstable during cooler periods....."
