Extreme weather events and military conflict over seven centuries in ancient Korea

Now we learn that Global Warming/Climate Change already plagued early kingdoms of the Korean peninsula for seven centuries between ! (Caution: irony). These researchers believe their findings would help to mitigate our times of phony 'climate crisis'. You can't make this up!

This research was based on the Samguk sagi (History of the Three Kingdoms) completed in 1145 AD covering roughly the period 100 BC to 700 AD.

"... Originally commissioned by King Injong of Goryeo in the 12th century, the Samguk Sagi provides scientists access to rare historical data involving a set of stable political entities for which both weather and conflict events were recorded over several centuries. ...
The researchers’ work sheds new light on the relationship between climate change and war. ..."

"... Since climate change is leading to increased frequency of extreme weather events, a better understanding of the implications for labor-intensive armed conflict can help with mitigation strategies."
