Warmists New Claim: Little Ice Age Caused By American Settlers
Can you imagine what it would be like if scientists were discussing the deaths of millions, not in terms of moral outrage, but rather the effect on reducing Co2 emissions?

Here are two more video's about Central America and MesoAmerica. I like how these have a year clock in the video. It's too bad all of them aren't like that.
Soil Erosion in Mesoamerica showing how high rates of soil erosion are associated with humid, steep terrain, and human impact from 8000 BP to 0 BP.
Afforestation of the Americas (AD 1500-1700),
showing the fraction of a gridcell under natural vegetation.
Published in Kaplan et al., The Holocene, 2010.Being a climate scientist seems like it would be an interesting job with a lot of subspecialties.
