    The worst time to be alive? A good candidate: 536-543. Massive volcanic eruptions in 536 and 540 yielded "coldest decade in the past 2300 years." No sunshine for 18 months; snow in summer; crop failure; mass starvation; and an outbreak of bubonic plague.https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2018/11/why-536-was-worst-year-be-alive …

        This excellent book talks about the fallout from that year. Among other things, it stopped the Eastern Roman Empire from establishing control over the Italian Peninsula and sent it into long terminal decline.https://www.amazon.com/Fate-Rome-Climate-Disease-Princeton/dp/0691166838 …

        If only the people from that era had the discipline and technology to mitigate the impacts. I’m sure they would’ve risen above politics and worked together for the common good. And certainly they would’ve avoided pandering to their financial interests. Right?
