Who killed so many people that the global temperature dropped significantly, resulting in a small ice age?
Correct answer: Genghis Khan
Tom
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
Lionessa
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.)

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

HawaiianShirtGuy, "The death of one person is a tragedy, the death of a million is a statistic."
Joseph Stalin
SMYTHE
SO killing 40 million people was 'quite impressive'?
Neil DW
Based “on a study”, by who and with what scientific evidence??
Back in your box everyone. Calm down and carry on 🙄

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

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.

MD, What humans do will not effect the huge planet
Stewy
Artie, the co2 of humans is so small compared to planet, it just laughs at them
Stewy
Toni, where have you been hiding
Stewy
Toodles, no it's inefficient food distribution
Stewy
beth, well he didn't conquer all the world
Stewy
AboElhawa, Poland defeated them, they infighting
Stewy
Peter, it's percentage of population, it was 10% in that time
Stewy
Bets, it was mostly in western europe
Stewy
DkRatz72, Don't quote one of the most sadistic killer in history, including his own ppl
user9263572718i19
that's insane
AboElhawa
so you didnt mention who stopped his forces

Lionessa, I hope they're much kinder than their ancestor.

Andi,
Which god?
They are all invented by human beings.
Capitalising a generic term does not increase the term's truth content.

Sometimes it gets colder. Sometimes it gets hotter. Darn those cavemen and their coal fired factories! And dinosaurs increased ocean levels by weighing down the land. As my psych professor would have said, all apples are fruits, but not all fruits are apples.
Pete
HawaiianShirtGuy, Not as many years as you think!
Rick
Andi, Which god? Man created so many of them.
Sandra
Mish, Your comment is true. Sadly, the sooner the world takes seriously the steps to keep population growth limited, the sooner the people will benefit and the earth and wilderness.
beth
well...history cant accuse him of being lazy
Toodles
Mish, I've always said the huge world population size is too much for the earth to cope with. too much consumption and negative outputs
Toni
This was news to me. I had never heard this before.
Jesse H.
Tom, Obviously Not indeed, since the paragraph says that *co2 NOT exhaled (by humans *no longer* breathing) was the "issue".
sylvie
that explains a whole lot why Bill Gates & Kamala wants to reduce the population .. planning to cool the earth 🌎
Fish
If this is true, then the over population of earth is the reason we are in global warning now
Byrde Alpha Bitch
paulo, You are welcome!😉
DavidKing
There's nothing "impressive" about mass killings. Nor should the way we address such topics be exhalted in any form. Taking a human life is a cardinal sin. Even taking the life of a living creature without just cause; just for the heck of it because one can, is also unjustified and who knows what consequences it will bear?
Player #27333553
he didn't even need infinity stones for it...
BellaLatte
Lionessa, where can I find more info on this thx
shellawk
Peter, In the 13th century, the total population was 200M, while during WWII, it was 2B. Per capita, the population reduction in the former would cause much more significant consequences than in the latter.

Player #121872670, didn’t early, CO2 to O2 life forms evolve into blue-green algae and eventually all plants….and get incorporated as mitochondria in animals
DaniM
I had no idea.
