The founding of the United States caused the 'Great Dying of the Indigenous People' which caused a drop in CO2 levels in the atmosphere because trees were allowed to grow.

This proves man (the white man in particular) caused changes in global climate 200 years before the Industrial Revolution.

Sounds like a big Smelly pile to me.

Or nicely phrased, pure conjecture, the evidence doesn’t exist to prove the hypothesis.

Estimates European arrival in 1492 lead to 56 million deaths by 1600.

Wikipedia:
In 1492 the native population of North America north of the Rio Grande was seven million to ten million.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmm...Quite a difference there...

Furthermore, we show that the global carbon budget of the 1500s cannot be balanced until large-scale vegetation regeneration in the Americas is included.

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.

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.

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.

So, in the area of the United States, the whites didn’t steal huge amounts of land from the Indians. The whites colonized mostly empty land.

Scanning the original article, the authors are talking about 90% reduction in the overall human population of the Western Hemisphere caused, not by the "white man," but by epidemic viral and bacterial infections.

These began with the first European contact. But many of these diseases spread so fast, they wiped out indigenous populations years before the white people actually set foot on lands thousand of miles from the initial points of contact.

That is, 90% of the indigenous populations died between 1492 and 1600.

Keep in mind that the Mayflower landed in Provincetown Harbor in late 1620: well after most of the local tribal settlements had already been rendered ghost towns by disease.

So this is not blaming"the United States" nor even "white males." It's blaming Variola major, Variola minor,and Yersinia pestis and other bacterial and viral pathogens.

Some of these diseases also caused mass die-outs in 14th century Europe, in some areas killing 40% - 90% of the human population there as well.

Some of these pathogens killed more people in Europe in 1918-1920 than were killed in combat in the First World War.

Genocide means a deliberate, malicious practice or policy aimed at the destruction of an entire people. The unintended 16th century epidemic die-off of Western Hemisphere people was a biological tragedy, not genocide.

The “deforestation” was a “human impact” as the Indians had slash/burned the entire North American East Coast forest by the time of Columbus.

This deforestation by natives was an early contributor to the Little Ice Age in Europe (which started 1300-1400s but hit maximum by 1500/1600s).
