Around the year 1400, global temperatures dropped approximately 1°C Then, by the 1500s the temperature drop had reached 2°C. England’s free-flowing Thames River froze over five times between 1400 and 1550. Between 1551 and 1700 it was covered in thick ice 12 times. Freezing winters were sometimes particularly desiccating, resulting in dry springs and hot … Continue reading
