    Fascinating program. I especially appreciated that followed every lead to its devastating conclusion.

    Why can`t someone do an updated presentation instead of reposting this same one over and over. There is new information on the likely causes. It`s important for people to know and prepare or they`ll freeze & starve when it happens again. It will.

      You won't watch it. I try and I'm interested, but I can't pay attention to a presentation unless I'm there. TH-cam recordings of presentations usually have poor video and audio quality. Edited audio and video with some background music or it's insufferably boring

      I have watched videos of 536 AD many times to make sure I understood what happened. The tree analysis was superb, but the writer who wrote the book about it including all the excerpts, is to be commended.
      I imagine what will happen when the volcano in Yellow Stone Park erupts.
      I will see it, hopefully from purgatory or heaven.😮

    Politicians don't care about much more than lining their pockets with commodities that they can't take with them if (in our case here in the US) Yellowstone blows. In the end, the things we take for granted won't matter anymore. People are so caught up in their beliefs, wants and needs that they forget how easily all of that can disappear and we dissolve into a real life version of Rust (an apocalyptical video game). It's coming and the arrogance of humanity can't stop it, despite thoughts that we can. Not if, when.

      There were multiple eruptions and space impacts too...not the kind that leave craters but the tunguska type. Iceland was the start of this and multiple others erupted in multiple regions. El Salvador is one.

    The man who we see constantly in this programme - the one who wrote the book "Catastrophe", is really doing the worst sort of pseudo history.
    He just likes to make sweeping claims, usually involving very well known places/people from history. But these are never backed up by climatologists, or people who study pollen and ecosystems, or geologists, or even historians who are expert in the numerous areas of study he ropes together in a mish mash of worse than amateur nonsense.
    eg
    1. he decides that the volcano that "caused" the climate problems of 536 MUST be Krakatoa. But geologists know precisely when Krakatoa had large eruptions. The cores from the Sunda Straits make it very clear that it did not erupt in that period.
    2. he says it must be so because Krakatoa is in the Sunda Straits where, he claims, a volcano caused Java and Sumatra to become separated. Now, even forgetting that volcanoes BUILD UP land, on the whole, not destroy it - indeed that's how most of Indonesia was created, by island arc volcanism, Java & Sumatra hadn't been attached since before the ending of the last ice age maximum, c 10,000bce.
    3. the ice cores from both polar regions show sulfur markings for at LEAST two years in the time period. So it wasn't merely ONE volcano
    4. The Avars. Horse riders from the Asian Steppe have been arriving in the West, from the Caspian to Italy, for centuries. Different groups, over many centuries. They weren't all propelled by climate alterations. Why would THIS bunch be different from all the others.
    They also withdrew for totally different reasons. .
    5. he makes these claims about how the ecology of the steppe changing without ANY reference to people whose careers make scientific study of these matters. If he could have, he would. But he didn't, so he couldn't. So it's bollocks.
    6. btw, this is a rejigged version of this "documentary" The earlier one put forth the claim that "the" volcano that caused the climate turbulence was Ilopango in central America. But after that version was released, that HUGE Ilopango eruption - which IS amazing - was properly, scientifically, dated to a difference period. So, they cut that part out, and shoved in the Krakatoa stuff, which is, actually FAR more wrong than the Ilopango assertion.
    7. What happened to Teotihuacan is something that specialists in many fields, including climatologist, ecologists, specialists in soil, in pollen, in seeds, in bone content in everything...have studied for decades. The idea that this guy thinks he has "solved" it is not just laughable, it is insulting.
    One of the worst elements is that all the stupid conclusions that are jumped to make the good bits of information seem like they are equally suspect. I don't know what is credible in the whole spiel.

      That "researcher from Austin", is Robert Dull. He was studying Ilopango.
      Trying to date it's huge eruption.
      And indeed, that eruption WAS finally dated. Properly. By using multiple dating methods, from multiple teams, who wrote up their work in properly sourced and critique form, which they then published, to ensure it received further close analysis by the wider pool of experts working in the related fields.
      The date of Ilopango's immense eruption in the middle of the first millennium AD, did NOT coincide or even predate by a small amount, the Justinian plague.
      That is why this "documentary" was recut to remove Dull and any mention of Ilopango, and stick in the nonsense about Krakatoa.
      Though there is even a THIRD edit of it, which says, "oh well it could also be Tavurvur, 'cause, you know that's a volcano whose name people know at the moment."
      Bad pseudo history, which pretends to be backed up by back non existent research.
      I'm only surprised the people who like to say meteors cause everything that hasn't been explained completely, haven't jumped in on this yet.
      Perhaps 1500 years from now someone will blame WW1 and the Spanish Flu on Katmai. What'll they blame for Covid and the insanity that is people voting for Trump?
      Pick your natural disaster and have at it.
