Indigenous Deaths and Climate Change, UCL Study

A study from University College London claims that the mass death of indigenous populations in the Americas following European colonization caused a global climate shift. The researchers argue that the abandonment of farmland led to massive reforestation, which sequestered enough carbon dioxide to cool the Earth by 1610. The theory is characterized as an attempt to shoehorn historical anomalies into modern global warming models.
