Climate Change- 536 AD: The Year That The Sun Disappeared

[RodISHI]

This is one of the coolest documentaries on Youtube. It is packed full of history and science. It even explains the history of the plague's beginnings and how that all got started back in the Dark ages. It was truly dark for several years.

We need a repeat. The congested urban areas need to be culled.

Terminal cold is the nature of the cosmos. The sun burped a couple of ten thousand years ago and a glacier covered what is now New York City to fifty feet. Recently the Fukashima earthquake shifted the axis of the Earth a couple of degrees but for some reason the weather scientists don't want to deal with the issue even though it has to impact weather patterns. The money is in global warming.

Shit happens. Fuckushima is shit that should not have been. The axis tilt is normal every so many thousands of years.

What happens to Earth every 26000 years?

Precession of Earth's rotational axis takes approximately 26,000 years to make one complete revolution. Through each 26,000-year cycle, the direction in the sky to which the Earth's axis points goes around a big circle. In other words, precession changes the “North Star” as seen from Earth.Oct 14, 2008

Seems like there’d be plenty of money in global cooling, too. Energy companies of every kind would have a windfall. Both end games are pretty horrific, so why is only one about the money, when they clearly both are?

Recently the Fukashima earthquake shifted the axis of the Earth a couple of degrees

Uh, try 1.26 microseconds. In other words, a whopping 6.5 inches.

That is a far cry from "a couple of degrees", as a degree is 364,000 feet (69 miles).

According to the calculation of G. Ostrogorsky, from 324 to 1453, Byzantium was ruled by 88 emperors,
so the average duration of one reign was 13 years.
At the same time, there were periods of turmoil in the history of Byzantium when the change of power occurred much more often —
7 emperors in the period from 695 to 717,
5 emperors in 797-820,
7 emperors in 1055-1081,
6 in the period from 1180 to 1204.
Of all the dynasties that occupied the Byzantine throne, the reigns of the Palaiologos, who ruled in the last period (1259-1453), were the longest.
.
Statistics of the reasons for the departure from power of the Byzantine emperors:
.
According to J. Sabatier (1862)
.
36 - Death from natural causes
.
20 - Violent death
.
18 - Castration, eye gouging, nose cutting, etc
. .
3 - Death by starvation
1 - Death by lightning
.
1 - Death from a poisoned arrow wound
.
12 - Death in custody in a prison or monastery
.
12 - Voluntary or forced renunciation
.
3 - Death in battle
.
1 - Death in captivity

I wonder how Justinian II was counted.

After a revolt in 695, he was deposed, had his nose cut off, then sent off into exile.

Then in 705 he returned and ruled again until 711, when he had another revolt, was arrested, and executed.
