Good Day, if you are reading this and are a believer in Human Caused (anthropogenic) Global Warming. Please explain to me this:
circa 1000 AD Erik the Red left Iceland (because of "some killings") and founded a colony he named Greenland as a marketing ploy. This colony thrived and raised livestock including dairy cows. It should also be noted there is fair evidence that wine grapes grew as far north as Labrador.
Erik's colony on Greenland died out after 400 years as the climate grew colder and colder. The evidence that the colony died out from this is in the archeological records written on the bones of the stunted northmen.
This period, known to historians as "The Great Medieval Warming Period" is notably absent from most climate change discussions.
I recently read an article in FOX about how Greenland was suffering due to "climate change" but it is fairly clear that it is not as warm as in say 1100 AD.
I have asked this in several venues and will ask it again here:
Is the earth as warm as it was in 1000-1400 AD?
While an engineer by trade, i like my explanations simple and this is a yes or no question.
