Communities often lashed out via violent crimes, including robbery and murder.
This sentence is unciteable. You might find a citation for gang rape, but you won't find a citation for the communal id charged with theft over. — MaxEnt 15:44, 16 April 2023 (UTC)
What a biased chart you have. Medieval warm period colder than years before? :) It was well written in ClimateGate emails that they make an additional work to lower the temperatures in "Medieval warm period", so current GW would more alarming. Biased chart, biased science. 95.103.178.167 ( talk) 07:26, 10 May 2023 (UTC)
It seems rather inappropriate for the introduction to have a chart asserting what the little ice age is not, rather than some sort of graphic describing what the little ice age is. 2600:4040:B506:FC00:909F:AF32:58:AE52 ( talk) 00:24, 1 July 2023 (UTC)
It is common knowledge that during most of the era refered to as The Little Ice Age, that weather thermometers did not exist. It wasn't until 1724 that Gabriel Fahrenheit invented a thermometer, using mercury and inscribed sufficient to maintain temperature records from diverse locations.
So if attempting to prove or disprove "Climate Change" in the modern era, researchers do not have an accurate record of "normal" or mean temperatures as they existed before the advent of "The Little Ice Age". Physical evidence in various forms that all require interpretation, but not approaching the accuracy of data used in the modern era to measure and make temperature charts previous to those recorded in Central England. So it is impossible to prove just how much warmer it was before the cooling took place. Bicketcharge ( talk) 03:35, 13 August 2023 (UTC)
Were the thermometers is use at the time made with mercury ? Kensington-Philly ( talk) 18:19, 6 September 2023 (UTC)
The Earth is in a 2.56 million-year ice age named the Quaternary Glaciation. The ice age is composed of about 90,000 year glacial periods that alternate with about 10,000 year interglacial periods, such as the current Holocene interglacial period that has in effect for the past 11,700 years. If something is in the 2.56 million-year time frame it is either in a glacial period or an interglacial period. For the Quaternary Glaciation to end all natural ice on Earth will have to melt.
