Highlights:
Combines multiple methods estimating pre-Columbian population numbers.
Estimates European arrival in 1492 lead to 56 million deaths by 1600.
Large population reduction led to reforestation of 55.8 Mha and 7.4 Pg C uptake.
1610 atmospheric CO2 drop partly caused by indigenous depopulation of the Americas.
Humans contributed to Earth System changes before the Industrial Revolution.
Furthermore, we show that the global carbon budget of the 1500s cannot be balanced until large-scale vegetation regeneration in the Americas is included. The Great Dying of the Indigenous Peoples of the Americas resulted in a human-driven global impact on the Earth System in the two centuries prior to the Industrial Revolution.
This proves man (the white man in particular) caused changes in global climate 200 years before the Industrial Revolution.
I don’t smoke that stuff any more but that is
some gooood sh*t.
Interesting...
Sounds like a big Smelly pile to me.
Or nicely phrased, pure conjecture, the evidence doesn’t exist to prove the hypothesis.

In 1492 the native population of North America north of the Rio Grande was seven million to ten million.
Hmmmmmmmmmmmm...Quite a difference there...
Some good info...

CO2 stimulates plant growth. The amount of CO2 in the air was 400 times greater during the age of the dinosaurs, when plant life was so abundant that it could sustain 100 ton apatorsaurs munching plants by the ton, and the biomass of the planet was never more abundant.
In contrast when CO2 drops to about half of what it is now there were huge die-offs, where 90% of all species disappeared.
CO2 is good for life. The more the better.
I will be making my own contribution using my snowblower this afternoon.
56 million deaths in 400 years? Humans did that in just five and half years of WWII and unleashed a bajillion tons more carbon in the process.
So if, say, every Hillary voter suddenly dropped dead, we’d see a reduction in CO2? Worth a try.
EDIT: 56 million deaths in 100 years? Humans did that in just five and half years of WWII and unleashed a bajillion tons more carbon in the process.
Carbon composes .04 percent of Earths atmosphere. I’m not worried.
If true the globalists should love white people. Its the agenda they are following right now.
Funnyhow they dont mention how many whites killed by indians. Or how the vast majority of the land was purchased. Or in mexicos case, won because of war victories.
Also doesnt mention how the indians themselves massacred each other. Those deaths are ok because its indians killing other indians. This is why libtards dont care about the massive amountof black on black violence and murder.
In the book MASSACRES OF THE MOUNTAINS, (Page 15) written in 1880, it was estimated that the population of American Indians, was no more than one million, to 250,000.
I’ve read at most a few hundred thousand - “Mystic Warriors of The Great Plains”; incidentally the book that W. Churchill plagiarized out of. Not Winston, some fake Indian guy.
That’s something that has puzzled me, humankind has been around a long time, not in NA though.
Those naughty White males. Again.
If only we were still living in caves and tepees, and picking lice off our friends, what a nice world it would be.
No mention of Smallpox, I suppose that it doesn’t fit into the desired narrative.

Banks and Means refused to allow him into the wounded knee church because they knew he was not an indian

Great news! Columbus Day is back in vogue. That feller was an environment enhancing mo-fo.
