They knew that the so-called " little ice age" , a series of cold snaps between, roughly, 1350 and 1850, had brought not only drought and famine, but also war – and so could these new climatic changes.

Scientists now know that disrupting the Gulf Stream would cause cooling only in Europe and North America, but the Little Ice Age also affected the Southern hemisphere，in places like New Zealand and Southern Africa for example.

科学家们现在知道， 扰乱墨西哥湾流只会导致欧洲和北美变冷，但小冰河期也会影响南半球， 例如新西兰和南部非洲等地。
