Talk:Mike Baillie

I am a member of the German Wikipedia, but English readers should at least know, that in his article "Tree-ring chronologies present us with independent records of past natural events which, strangely, or perhaps not so strangely, seem to link with some stories from myth" (in "Kalendarische, chronologische und astronomische Aspekte der Vergangenheit", Munich (Germany) 2012, p. 129) Mike Baillie writes:

"Additional Note 2011. Anyone wishing to follow this story needs to take note of subsequent developments. In 2008 Larsen et al. published new ice core evidence for two large, previously underestimated, volcanoes in the vicinity of the AD 536-545 event. Two replies to that article relating to the ice core chronology are also relevant, see Baillie 2008; 2010. The story of the AD 536-545 event now appears to be that there was a volcano related environmental event with catastrophic effects but there was also a significant comet in AD 539 as referred to by Gibbon. Thus, based on previous experiences, people on the ground may have interpreted the AD 536-545 environmental effects as due to the comet god, relocating earlier stories to the immediate vicinity of AD 540." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 46.115.17.10 (talk) 19:09, 11 May 2013 (UTC)
