ROME — Long before the industrial revolution and fossil fuels, “climate change” was wreaking havoc on the health of ancient Romans, Smithsonian magazine contends.
Citing a study published in the journal Science Advances, Smithsonian underscores a correlation between cold, dry periods in ancient Rome and “devastating bouts of fatal illness” between 200 BC and 600 AD.
Whereas Rome enjoyed stable weather from 200 to 100 BC, it later suffered “three very cold periods,” all of which “line up with documented plagues,” states Smithsonian writer Sarah Kuta.
The first cold spell, which struck the Roman Empire between 160 and 180 AD, corresponds almost perfectly to the period of the Antonine Plague (also called the Plague of Galen), which caused diarrhea, fever, and pustular eruptions of the skin and left an estimated 5-10 million dead, some 10 percent of the population of the empire.
The second cold period occurred between 245 and 274 AD and coincided with the Plague of Cyprian (250-266 AD), an outbreak costing an estimated 5,000 lives daily in the Roman Empire.

And every Roman plague was linked to colder temperatures. Ice and snow kill.
Carbon dioxide is the stuff of life.
I have asked for years, what is “ normal “ for the earth’s climate!
Also explain vast cooling and warming events before SUVs and coal powered plants
If the “little ice age “ ended in the 1800s wouldn’t warming be expected.
And of course what happened to the 70s coming ice age?
When your narrative is if it’s cold it’s climate change, if it’s hot it’s climate change, if there are more hurricanes it’s climate change, if there are fewer hurricanes it’s climate change, if it snows more it’s climate change, if it snows less it’s climate change, if it rains more it’s climate change and if it rains less it’s climate change, ….who can argue
Once the money started flowing and the smartest people in the workd(polititians) started coming up with solutions well…
Those damn chariots and their carbon emissions!
Havoc! Havoc! Havoc! Be afraid! Be very afraid!
And the media today wonders why so many are canceling subscriptions, not "viewing," cutting the cable, and so on.
After awhile, HAVOC just gets monotonous.
Havoc! Havoc! Havoc! Be afraid! Be very afraid! (Always followed by 'please donate' or 'look at the advertising and buy something from our sponsors.) But nonetheless, havoc! Havoc! Havoc! Be afraid! Be very afraid!
Horse emissions….
I’m old enough to remember when the Smithsonian hired intelligent workers.
Wait….if that is true, then cars didn’t cause it and the left can shove their electric cars where the sun doesn’t shine.
See what you evil ICE truck drivers have done???

Few will deny that the earth’s climate changes. It has been changing since it was created billions of years ago.
The big lie is that man today is able to change earth’s climate and in order to stop it all human activity must be controlled.
It is more then a lie, it is crime against humanity. These people if allowed to come into power are willing to starve the human population into submission.
The Smithsonian is no longer a museum, is it...
Smithsonian debunks Human link to climate Change should be headline.
Where were the factories, chemical plants, oil drilling, and burning of vast quantities of fossile fuels in the Roman empire?
BTTT.
Which is why they switched to “Climate Change”.
STOP GLOBAL PLATE TECTONICS !!!!
Quit paying attention and giving any money to climate change. What we need to worry about is GLOBAL PLATE TECTONICS.
Every second of every day, the very land we stand on is disappearing beneath out feet. There is no questioning this. It is documented fact. If we don’t stop it, one day we will disappear under the crust of the Earth.
This will affect everyone. EVERYONE. So, you must send all funding from all nation, every penny from every piggybank, and any gold or silver (will also accept platinum) to:

Land of the Lost
We appreciate your donations and can’t wait to get to work solving this every present and growing problem that will be the death of us all. An extinction level event.
Should I fail to prevent this global disaster, any remaining funds will be spent on a GLOBAL END OF THE WORLD PARTY. Come join the fun. Casual attire.
