Cold Welcome

When Europeans arrived in North America, the average global temperature had dropped to lows unseen in millennia and its effects-famine, starvation, desperation, and violence-were stark among colonists unprepared to fend for themselves. This history of the Little Ice Age in North America reminds us of the risks of a changing and unfamiliar climate.

Aceasta istorie a Micii Epoci Glaciare din America de Nord ne aminteste de riscurile unui climat in schimbare si necunoscut.
