| Not so long ago, civilization learned that it was no match for just a few degrees drop in temperature. Scientists caIl it the Little lce Age--but its impact was anything but smaIl. From 1300 to 1850, a period of cataclysmic cold caused havoc. lt froze Viking colonists in GreenIand, accelerated the Black Death in Europe, decimated the Spanish Armada, and helped trigger the French Revolution. The Little Ice Age reshaped the world in ways that now seem the stuff of fantasy--New York Harbor froze and people waIked from Manhattan to Staten lsland, Eskimos sailed kayaks as far south as ScotIand, and two feet of snow fell on New EngIand in June and JuIy during "the Year Without a Summer". CouId another catastrophic coId snap strike in the 21st century? Leading cIimatologists offer the latest theories, and scholars and historians recreate the history that couId be a gIimpse of things to come. Face the cold, hard truth of the past--an era that may be a window to our future. |
