(PhysOrg.com) -- David Zhang of the University of Hong Kong and several of his Chinese colleagues have published a paper in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, where they say they have proven that climate change has been the cause of much of history's strife. They say that cold periods have led to reduced crop production which inevitably led to famine, disease outbreaks and wars.
