Catastrophe
Summary
In AD 536, a volcanic eruption meant our planet was enveloped by a cloak of lethal dust which changed the climate for decades. Many millions of people died as a bubonic plague epidemic broke out. Migration and huge changes ensued. This was the beginning of the modern era, as David Keys discusses.
