And not a single sport utility vehicle anywhere to be seen.

I am curious as to the connection between this cold period and the plague during Justinians reign. It is generally considered that the plague arrived from Egypt on grain ships.

Herds of man-made SUVs have taken over manipulating the world’s climate, just doing the job that volcanoes won’t do any more.

When this topic went up, I thought, 'should be quick and easy to post the related FR topic links' from our fine selection of black death and plague. Yow, this will take a while. Long, related keywords, robot #1 (not Marco Rubio) is processing it now, then robot #2 will work it over, then a couple of sorts and duplicate removals, and I'll do a hand edit.

I am curious as to the connection between this cold period and the plague during Justinians reign. It is generally considered that the plague arrived from Egypt on grain ships. I'd guess that some years of extra cold would reduce crops in the more northern latitudes, thus necessitating the import from warmer climes.

These scientists blame this on volcanoes and a solar minimum but if they would study thier history it would become clear it was God’s wrath due to monotheletism and iconoclasm.

Wonder if this is what brought down Rome for good.

Interesting thought. Byzantine influence was very strong in the Levant.

No. It was the loss at the battle of Manzikert which empowered the Ottomans and the sacking of Constantinople by crusaders that fatally weakened Byzantium.
By the way, an excellent treatment of Byzantium on U Tube is John Romers Byzantium. Worth watching.
