Napoleon's Retreat from Moscow
Napoleon's retreat from Moscow is a legendary military disaster. While historians and military buffs note the toll the Russian winter took on La Grande Armee, few if any appreciate the role solar activity, or the lack of it, played in one of the great military reversals in history.
This is more than a historical footnote. The same pattern of solar activity that doomed Napoleon is occurring as we speak.
Another interesting item on climate occurred just a few years later.
The Year Without A Summer caused by the volcanic eruption of
Mt Tambora.
So climate IS affected by other things than CO2? Hmmm.
I still blame Bush. And 'Big Oil'.
