Hard to believe..

BBC NEWS | Science/Nature | Europe's chill linked to disease

The above story is about how it has been suggested that the Little Ice Age of a few hundred years ago may have been caused by too many new trees springing up on unused farms after a third of Europe died of bubonic plague. Those trees cause more trouble than they are worth.

Anyway, the theory sounds too much of a stretch.

But I would say that a climate model that cannot account for the Little Ice Age does not inspire confidence about its predictions for the future.
