To clarify, it was not the humans deaths that might have directly caused this, but secondary effects. Farms going back to Forest, fewer fires, farmed animals. I just mean it was not the CO2 that humans breathed out that is at issue.

Jabroni

So basically he was the first eco-terrorist

While the murder of millions of people is horrific, it is also hard to comprehend numbers that large. And over how many years. And how many died of starvation because he destroyed their crops and homes and not thru violence. But the original premise of this piece is still hard to believe. So many factors influence our climate that this seems like reaching this conclusion was to justify their theory.

And for every death, there were dozens, if not hundreds, of rapes. Genghis Kahn has, today, 16,000,000 living male descendants. (The DNA studies that were used didn't include females.)

so could overpopulation result in the opposite effect meaning no matter how much conservation we achieve eventually the population will outdo itself

And therein lies the solution for today's global warming problem... Human activities sped it up & we can slow it down with less human activity ... in other words, less humans 😳

SMYTHE

SO killing 40 million people was 'quite impressive'?

Julie

So the globalist who want the earths population to get down to 650,000 will doom themselves if they prevail! Interesting!

Neil DW

Based “on a study”, by who and with what scientific evidence?? Back in your box everyone. Calm down and carry on 🙄

daud

can we trust the data??? where it get ...

Thank God he was not Thanos

Peace

There should have been an answer option for "no one".

HawaiianShirtGuy, Yes, so many factors has contribute to climate change including the Sun. And who was the source that came up the supposed number of people who died? Is it accurate?

Cyanideprincess

SMYTHE, Right?? I was thinking along the same lines!

katie Houghton

SMYTHE, are you planning on killing 40 million?

Dolphin

Mish, what do you think the jab was for?

Julie, No globalist has called for that figure. the lowest number is 0.65 BILLION.

Peter

In the Second World War 50 million died. I am sure that there were other factors. Not tô mention, first world War and the Spanish Flu. I don't believe it.

Tom, what about the bubonic plague that occurred in the mid-fourteenth century. Might have had an effect: it wiped out at least a third of the Asian and European populations.

BlueQ

Yashmac, exactly! Society won’t let us die we keep trying to live longer- and we keep having kids - there fore over population and global warming - recycling isn’t going to cure this… !!!
