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.
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.
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!
The period of global cooling from the fourteenth to the nineteenth century is often referred to as the Little Ice Age. This era was characterized by colder temperatures and adverse climatic conditions, leading to shorter growing seasons and harsh winters in various parts of the world.
The Little Ice Age lasted from about 1300 to 1850, with the most intense period occurring between the 16th and 18th centuries. This period was marked by cooler temperatures and resulted in various climatic events such as colder winters and shorter growing seasons.
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.
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.
the medieval period
Medieval England experienced a climate characterized by the Medieval Warm Period, roughly from the 9th to the 14th centuries, which brought milder temperatures and favorable growing conditions. This warmer climate allowed for increased agricultural productivity and population growth. However, by the late 14th century, the onset of the Little Ice Age led to colder temperatures, resulting in shorter growing seasons, crop failures, and famine. These climatic shifts had significant impacts on society, economy, and health during the medieval period.
