Vikings grew barley in Greenland – climate was mild when they landed
- WarOnPrivacy 1y agoActual headline: Vikings grew barley in Greenland Correction to the editorial addition: Climate was mild when and where they landed. The Medieval Warm Period (MWP), also known as the Medieval Climate Optimum or the Medieval Climatic Anomaly, was a time of warm climate in the North Atlantic region that lasted from about 950 CE to about 1250 CE. Climate proxy records show peak warmth occurred at different times for different regions, which indicate that the MWP was not a globally uniform event. The MWP was followed by a regionally cooler period in the North Atlantic and elsewhere, which is sometimes called the Little Ice Age. ref: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medieval_Warm_Period https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medieval_Warm_Period xkcd global climate timeline: https://xkcd.com/1732/ https://xkcd.com/1732/
