Thanks to his intelligence, Sapiens not only overcame all these challenges posed by a turbulent and unpredictable nature, but also became increasingly resilient, less and less dependent on the climate.
Default climate during these ices ages was cold, dry and dusty, and polar at higher latitudes.
Sapiens experienced a brief interval of favorable climate during the Eemian interglacial, which began around 130,000 BP and lasted around 15,000 years.
The first European Sapiens arrived around 45,000 BP, and over the course of almost 30 millennia, the climate shifted back and forth, creating a veritable chaos.
Historian Kyle Harper claims that the collapse was mainly due to successive epidemics and a deteriorating climate.
Among others, including the Khmer kingdom of Angkor, Ming China was hit even harder, the worst occurring in the 1640s when a powerful volcanic eruption exacerbated climate change.
The modern optimum and the imaginary climate crisis For obvious reasons, and whatever the causes, the global warming that followed the Little Ice Age came as a relief, since it eased the suffering of the cold and ushered in a new Eden similar to the Roman or medieval optimum.
In addition to its margin of error, this "Global average temperature" makes little sense, since there is no single Earth climate, but rather a panoply of regional and local climates with a wide variety of characteristics.
How can we average the climate of Antarctica with that of Amazonia? We also know that land warms up more than oceans, the northern hemisphere more than the southern, mid and high latitudes more than the tropics, and cities more than their countryside.
Some climates are benefiting from the warming, while others remain inhospitable.
The real danger facing humanity lies in the drastic solutions proposed by the proponents of climate catastrophism.
