In which John Green teaches you about the Little Ice Age. The Little Ice Age was a period of global cooling that occurred from the 13th to the 19th centuries. This cooling was likely caused by a number of factors, including unusual solar activity and volcanic eruptions. The Little Ice Age greatly impacted human social orders, especially during the 17th century. When the climate changed, and the weather became unpredictable, the world changed profoundly. Poor harvests led to hunger, which led to even less productivity, which even resulted in violent upheaval in a lot of places. All this from a little change in the temperature? Definitely.

The only thing an old men heard was increase of women as head of household equals social collapse and hyper inflation
I'm proud to have been the 1000th Dislike of this video.
this is smallest ice age the big ice age in front door soo before you loced in houses and be canibals its speeding up before youre food end
I can’t hear as fast as he talks.
Never fear avatar aang is here
There's an interesting theory that increases in volcanic activity may be indirectly caused by decreases in solar activity, hence causing cooling.
Basically when solar activity decreases, the Sun's magnetosphere (which extends~250 AU beyond the Sun) weakens.
This in tern allows large amount of Cosmic rays to enter out solar system.
These cosmic rays are extremely energetic and can pierce several miles below the Earth's surface, and are mostly absorbed by the liquid or semi-solid silicon below the Earth's surface.
This heats up the silicon, hence increasing convection currents and hence increasing volcanic and tectonic activity.
NASA, Harvard, along with numerous other institutes have found and acknowledged this negative correlation between Solar activity and volcanic activity (especially silicon rich volcanic activity).
why did you leave out the cannibalisms? Cowards
The old good Mr green!
Breaking news: the climate changes
I just wanna say thanks cause I've been BINGING on crash course world and US history all quarantine long and its great
Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Frame 1:18 What is the two guys doing in and around the barn. One guy is fondling the woman and the other guy is relieving himself on the right side of the barn. Hey! youse two guys better stop that.
'history never controversial" lol good joke
dude looks like the megamind guy.
6:05 is that the wilhelm scream?
3:10 i hate Shakespeare (no so much because i think he;s a bad writer, more because of how many lazy writers, movie/tv producers, and similar proffesions tend to steal/remake his works over and over and over, and because of how teachers are so obsessed with his works) so i might be ok with him never being a writer/playwright
6:34 I always find it ironic when people have stickers like John Green's "this machine kills facists" or similar ones on their computers since some computers, like Apple, outsource alot of the manufacturing to China, one of the most authoritarian states in the world. Apple and some other tech companies bow to Chinese demands all the times to keep cheap manufacturing in China and maintain a good business relationship so they can continue to sell their products there, so to see an anti-facist sticker like that on an Apple computer is a bit funny. It's not really practical to bring all those manufacuring jobs over to the US, our labor rates are too high and often too inefficient for cheaper consumer grade stuff like that (although we are very competitive on larger manufacturing for things like planes, pharmaceuticals, and similar complicated items), but we could do more business with similar cheap manufacturers like India and Taiwan who are both more free countries who do well at tech manufacturing.
This is really unscientific.
climate change always changes this global warming hoax is disbanded by this video thanks1
He never explained the Roman warm period or medieval warm period or why the Earth warmed after the little ice age! It doesn't fit the narrative of man made global warming! Snow records broken across the Northern hemisphere this spring and Arctic ice at the 80s mean! Do a video on that?!!
Ice age is freezing 🥶🥶🥶
how come you do not speak about the thames frost fairs?
Here in 2020, its happening again
We got 1k climate change deniers 😑
Okay…. how exactly did they punished the widows that killed themselves? Did they threw their corps on jail?
We forbid widows from killing themselves.
What are ya gonna do? Kill them?
