Well they did stay around long enough to get frisky with the locals. Being Hungarian it’s in my DNA (did that DNA thing with Ancestry).

“Michael Mann of Pennsylvania State University, University Park, says the study is interesting, but he warns against over-interpreting the influence of climate on historic events. “I’m sceptical that such ‘climate determinism’ holds nearly as universally as some authors seem to think,” he says. The changes in weather the study reported seemed “modest”, he says.”

All the sudden Michael Mann is skeptical about extending a shake scientific theory? Since when?

Climates change. Sometimes warmer, sometimes colder. It’s always been that way.

The Roman Empire flourished in a period that was warmer than our own.
The Middle Ages flourished in a period that was warmer than our own.

As climates cool off, civilizations often suffer — it’s easier to deal with rising temperatures, but colder climates have large effects.

The Little Ice Age ended in 1850 or so, and temperatures may have risen since then, to our benefit.

The anti-human, anti-technology Leftists don’t understand any of this.

So.... Catastrophic global climate change saved Europe and doomed the Mongols.

What to do what to do...

Some scholars claim Mongolian politics forced the withdrawal

According to the acconts I have read, aftrer their chief died in December of 1241, the Mongols had to return to their capital of Karakorum to elect a new one.

Mann's "global warming" agenda would be undermined by acknowledging the Medieval Warm Period, a time when (without SUVs and coal-burning power plants) the world was warmer than current times.

The mongols left because they couldn't take Hungary’s walled cities. About 20 years later the mongols tried again. They where trashed by the Hungarians and never returned.

The mongol army of the time was the Eurasia’s most disciplined, capable of advanced manoeuvres as the false retreat by their mounted archers, so describing them as ‘hordes’ is inaccurate, while traditional.
