[Young Werther]

A cooler Pacific may have severely affected(this is a verb) medieval Europe, North America.

Cogito Ergo Sum! Cause and effect. A cooler Pacific may have caused a change in the weather in Europe.

I don't think this study was focused on the emotional affectation that the Pacific had on the European's. Of course Magellan was killed and is buried on Guam. Maybe the natives were affected by the White Man! Go figger!
