The Medieval Warm Period was between 950 and 1250 when Europe and some other areas experienced a warmer climate. This was the time the Vikings started their colony in Greenland for farming. Shortly after this period, a gradually cooler climate set in, which we call the Little Ice Age, only ending in the latter part of the 19th century. The Vikings in Greenland having left in the 15th century because of failing crops and poor pasture for animals.

∙ 12y agoAccording to over 800 science experts, working at 479 different Universities, there was a medieval warm period where temps were similar to, or higher then, the present day temps in much of Europe.
A:The Medieval Warm Period, which lasted from about 950 to 1250 CE, was the warmest period for at least two thousand years, until the twentieth century. Temperatures were probably between 0.1°C and 0.2°C below the 1961 to 1990 mean and significantly below the level shown by instrumental data after 1980. Recent studies suggest that the warming effect might not have extended to the Southern Hemisphere, which is now thought by some scientists to have been somewhat cooler than the northern hemisphere.Add your answer:

Was there an Ice age in the 1100s-1900s?
The Little Ice Age (LIA) was a period of cooling that occurred after the Medieval Warm Period (Medieval Climate Optimum). While not a true ice age, the term was introduced into the scientific literature by François E. Matthes in 1939. It may be conventionally defined as a period extending from the 16th to the 19th centuries,or about 1350 to about 1850 though climatologists and historians working with local records no longer expect to agree on either the start or end dates of this period, which varied according to local conditions. NASA defines the term as a cold period between 1550 AD and 1850 AD and notes three particularly cold intervals: one beginning about 1650, another about 1770, and the last in 1850, each separated by intervals of slight warming.
What was the period of global cooling from the fourteenth to the nineteenth century referred to?
the little ice age
What was the climate during the tertiary period?
Well, during the beginning, it started out fairly cool, then it became quite warm! It then went from hot to cold when the ice age kicked in!
What was the climate like near the end of the mesozoic era?
The climate before the Mesozoic period/era was a relatively warm climate. The Mesozoic Era was an interval of geological time from about 252 to 66 million years ago and is also called the Age of Reptiles.
Are you in the Quaternary Period?
Yes. We currently live in an "interglacial period" of the Quaternary Ice Age. Some people confuse "ice age" with a "glacial period" within an ice age.
When did the medieval ice age begin?
The medieval period, in Europe, was warmer than today. This warm period and the cooler period afterwards was only part of the ice age we have lived in for the past 2.6 million years.
What are two other names for the dark age?
the medieval period
What does middle age mean?
Medieval period, lasted from the 5th to the 15th century
What does Medieval mean?
Architecture of the period 1000 -1500 AD.

That 1000 years is called the Middle Ages, medieval period, or even Age of Faith.

Jonathan has just survived the Viking invasion of 787 CE During which period is he living?
This would be the Early Medieval Period, also known as the Dark Age
What age was before modern age?
"Medieval Age" no it was not the medieval age. it was the twentieth century,and before that it was the renaissance.
What are the differences between the 21 Century and the Medieval age?
During the Medieval age people had to build fires to cook and keep warm. In the 21st century people have electricity and furnaces to cook and keep them warm. During the Medieval ages windmills, mechanical clocks, and distilled alcohol were discovered or invented. During the 21st century the AbioCor artificial heart, an artificial liver, and self cleaning windows were all invented.
What was the Time period from 476 to 1000?
The time period from 476 to 1000 AD is known as the Early Middle Ages in European history. It was a period characterized by the decline of the Western Roman Empire, the spread of Christianity, the emergence of feudalism, and the beginning of the medieval period. This period also saw the rise of powerful medieval kingdoms and the Viking Age.
When did the ice age start and finish?
The present ice age started about 2.6 million years ago and is still with us. There have been many cold and warm periods during the ice age, the last cold period, (glaciation), ended about 10,000 years ago and we are in a warm period, (interglacial).
