Plague = Cooling Climate

"Europe's "Little Ice Age" may have been triggered by the 14th Century Black Death plague, according to a new study."

I love this kind of science. It's kind of like the "Viagra saves wildlife" theory which postulates that becauase Viagra works and is available in Asia poachers no longer have a market for black bear gall bladders which were said to cure impotence.

I just started reading a book about the Black Death Plague. In some areas up to 60% of the population was wiped out.
