Slaying the dragon of climate change - The Denver Post
We are also beginning to recognize publicly what scientists have long understood: natural climate variation itself can have enormous and potentially undesirable societal consequences. While the potential impacts of human climate influence are sobering, our focus on human influence is misguided if it blinds us to the consequences of natural change.

The abnormal cold of the "Little Ice Age" from about 1350 to 1850 altered the course of world events - possibly delaying the settlement of America and driving the onset of the industrial revolution.
