As the great, great granddaughter of a proud Cherokee woman, this makes me so sorrowful and I wonder if the world will ever recover from the evils of men. We don't learn this in our fucking history books, do we?

@Mortal I don''t hate myself at all. However I am acutely aware of the contribution my country made on virtually all the world's current problems. From the middle east to the Indian sub-continent, corruption in some of the African countries and even some issues in USA. I read an article that suggested that we even own the issues USA has with gun ownership. As in the 'well armed militia' was a direct response to the concerns that people had in regards to the king's army, as there was no standing army so people had to be prepared to take up arms. Its all our fault.
They invaded our land with their bibles, guns, violence, and diseases. ?

Of course the genocide of indigenous people in north central and south America was an appalling episode in history but this research is totally flawed. There was a slight dip in CO2 levels but the "little ice age" started in the 14th century and the genocide of indigenous people probably peaked in the 17th century. It was more likely caused by lower solar output,there were two episodes of lower sunspot activity during this period, and volcanic activity.
It makes good copy though with climate change always in the news and makes the university look important.

Diseases brought over by the Europeans killed far more native people than the Europeans themselves. Think if Steven King’s novel - The Stand.
