About 620 farms have been
excavated in Greenland. Longhouses, the central residences of farm dwellers,
would house 10 to 20 people who worked the farm. Ten persons per farm would put
the population in Greenland at more than 6000 people, it but could have been as
many as 8000–9000. From 1000 to 1300 AD the settlements thrived under a climate
favorable to farming, trade, and exploration. A cooling, steadily deteriorating
climate began after 1300 AD and farming became impractical. Three churches, one
large estate, and 95 farms have been excavated on the west coast of Greenland,
mostly under permafrost. A bishop who travelled there about 1350 AD found that
the settlement was completely abandoned. The Church abandoned Greenland in 1378
because ships could not get through the sea ice between Iceland and Greenland (www.sciencedirect.com).
The previous excerpt is talking about a period from about
900 to 1300 AD in which temperatures were much warmer than today. Some (anyone,
or perhaps any scientist paid by an agenda group) may argue that couldn’t be;
however, we do not farm in Greenland today. Why? Obviously, it’s too cold. Well, technically there are about 35 farms in Greenland which is insignificant in percentage compared to what it was at one time. Moreover, only 1% of Greenland is arable. Six hundred and twenty (620) farms, however, are a lot of farms. I will let you figure it out on your own. You can

We might not be able to predict the next 100 years of climate perfectly; however, 800,000 past years of ice core samples show climate change is cyclical.
ReplyDeleteWe are in the current "Holocene" interglacial, which began about 11,500 years ago. As mentioned elsewhere, the middle of the Holocene was warmer than today, at least during summer in the Northern Hemisphere, due to changes in Earth's orbit changing the distribution of solar radiation received on Earth.Nov 12, 2021

Mid-Holocene Warm Period, Penultimate Interglacial Period
Based on these facts, one can say that there can be changes in Earth's orbit changing the distribution of solar radiation received many times, as the sun travels around the galaxy. Technically, it is false to say that 2023 was the warmest year. The warmest year since we've done modern record keeping may perhaps be true.
