Climate change in 536 AD

 I&I:

...

Despite the assurances from the fanatics that we’re heading into, or are already in, a crisis in which the climate abruptly shifts, even their ugliest fever dreams can’t compare to what happened in 536 AD.

According to the History Of Yesterday:

From the research done by scientists, it is said that AD 536 was the coldest year in the last 2300 years, which made the winter season a survival season for most cultures. Contemporary scholars also tell us that it is not only the fact that it was a really cold winter that made it a bad year but also many strange events where the climate changed all of a sudden.

During this period of sudden climate change, it snowed in China during the summer, South America endured three months of heavy rain followed by three months of drought, and famine was apparently widespread enough to  contribute “to the collapse of many cultures around the world.”

Science says it was “the worst year to be alive.”

Some researchers blame volcanic activity for the miserable weather of 536. Others aren’t convinced. We can rule out human fossil fuel use, however. The first oil well wasn’t sunk into the ground until the 1850s.

...

This sounds a little like the biblical plagues in Egypt when Moses was working on an Exodus of Israelis.  Climate change predictions in recent years have been serially wrong.
