The Incans faced global warming
« on: July 31, 2009, 12:06:48 AM »
This article talks about the Inca expansion during a period of warming from 1100 to at least 1500.

Incan Empire Aided by Global Warming

The article of course begs the question - how did global warming come about during that time period?  But at least it pushes the idea that the phenomena actually helped the Inca expand their empire.

This is talking about the Medieval Warm Period.  It also saw almost explosive growth in Europe.

BTW, the GW crowd cannot explain the Medieval Warm Period and get red in the face and insult anybody that brings it up.
