What have the vikings got to do with climate change? I have seen a number of answers here recently that talk of the medieval warm period and the little ice age and connect that to the Vikings dying out (or leaving) Greenland.

Ben O, I wasnt suggesting Vikings were contributing to global warming, I was refering to others questions about why they dissappeared from Greenland around the same time the Little Ice Age started.

The ability to farm and keep plentiful livestock is the basis for the Viking argument . They did have to abandon Greenland because of climate change as their society was based on this . Hard to say exactly how this
would play out in todays world but... a fair comparison can be drawn .

Vikings don%26#039;t affect global warming much - that%26#039;s a common misconception.

Global warming has been found to have an inverse relationship to the number of pirates in the world. www.venganza.org
