The black death was caused by a volcano and not by germs.

I will now take your 6 points..... #1 .( PRO states .."When archaeologists discovered thousands of medieval skeletons in a mass burial pit in east London in the 1990s, they assumed they were 14th-century victims of the Black Death or the Great Famine of 1315-17.") PRO failed to read on in the article that he himself cited, too wit, " Now they have been astonished by a more explosive explanation " a cataclysmic volcano that had erupted a century earlier," (1) . The article clearly indicates that the researchers initial assumption that they had discovered "Black Death victims" was WRONG. #2 ( PRO states .." The graph below shows a history of global climate history. Note- That the global climate peaked in around 1200 AD and declined in temperature by about 1.5 degrees by 1600 AD. Thus, we could easily say that the global population reached its peak in 1200 AD and declined in periods of crop failure due to persistent rainfall during periods of harvest which leads to periods of famine known commonly as 'plagues'. Due to the uneducated population, it was assumed that germs were the cause of death. Little was known about vitamins at this time in history.") PRO seems to be saying that a volcano caused deaths in Britain from 1258 to 1351. CON is stating that there may have been at least 3 distinct events during this time ..1. the 1258 volcano (2), 2. the 1315 famine (3) and 3 the Black Death (4) #3 ( PRO states .."Increased volcanic ash in the atmosphere causes an increase in rainfall." ) CON fails to grasp how this is relevant data. #4 ( PRO states..."Thus, I have proved that an increase in rainfall and a cooling of the global temperatures will cause massive crop failure and lead to conditions described as 'plague'. Germs, rats and fleas are blamed as being the cause of these events due to ignorance of vitamins and how the human body functions.") CON will argue later about how the physical impacts of "starvation" are far different for the impacts of the Plague. #5 (PRO states.. "It has also been proved that fleas are incapable of moving at a speed 5 kilometres per day which was the rate at which the Black Death spread.") CON argues that while fleas may not move this fast, their hosts certainly could. #6 (PRO states .."The Dark Ages caused by 2 large volcanoes.") CON states that the debate is not about the Dark Ages. Also PRO's source refers to a 6th century event. (5) The " pi"ce de r"sistance:" is that the physical impacts of "starvation" are far different for the impacts of the Plague. "In 14th-century Europe, the victims of the Black Death had bleeding below the skin (subcutaneous hemorrhage) which darkened ("blackened") their bodies. The Black Death was characterized by gangrene of the fingers, toes, and nose." (6) and "DNA tests on 600-year-old teeth from victims of the Black Death have confirmed that Yersinia pestis was indeed the cause of the Black Death." (7) (1) https://www.theguardian.com...
