I finally got around to reading Churchill’s “History of the English Speaking Peoples” which opens with the Roman invasion of Britain.
They abandoned the island around 440 A.D. and Churchill points out that it took 1400 years for Britain to again reach the same standard of living as it was when the Romans left.
Especially the warming periods that bring us out of ice ages. Actually we do know. It has to do with the eccentricity of the orbit of Earth.
