Yaawwwwn.

So... HOW did we get similar weather and climate (actually warmer) when CO² was
nearly half what it is today?


During The 800s-1300s AD, Wine Grapes Were Grown At Latitudes Where Polar Bears
Now Roam

1-2°C Warmer Medieval Times Supported Wine

Vineyards In Russia, Norway, N England (55°N)

According to published geological evidence from the 1950s, remnants of wine
grape vineyards have been unearthed in regions as far north as the polar-bear-
inhabiting 55th parallel during the Medieval Warm Period (~800s to 1300s AD).

The early Norse burials in Greenland were deep in ground which is now
permanently frozen.

"In Domesday Book (1085) 38 vineyards were recorded in England besides those of
the king. The wine was considered almost equal with the French wine both in
quantity and quality as far north as Gloucestershire and the Ledbury area of
Herefordshire..."

The northernmost vineyards were near York but the most favoured country was
from Northants and the Fenland southwards. This implies summer temperatures
perhaps 1 to 2°C higher than today, general freedom from May frosts
(particularly suggested by the exposure to the north of several low-lying
vineyard sites, e.g. at Tewkesbury, in the Fens and at Teynham, Kent) and
mostly good Septembers."

Wine Produced In East Prussia, Lithuania, South Norway

"At one time (1128-1437) wine had been produced in East Prussia."

"Grapes grew even at Tilsit (55°N) in Lithuania..."

"...and in south Norway..."

Wine Produced At 220 Meters Higher Elevation Than 1959...And Today

"... as high as 780 m above sea level in the Black Forest
."

"The highest vineyards in Germany today are about 560 m near the Boden
Sea in Baden."

Vineyards-55-N.jpg

The highest vineyard in Germany today, located at Lake Constance, is still 560
m above sea level, the same maximum height as it was in the late 1950s. The
modern elevation is therefore 220 meters lower elevation for German wine-making
than during the Medieval Warm Period.

Grape Harvesting 500 Kilometers North Of Present From 1100 - 1300 A.D.
Easterbrook, 2011

"The Medieval Warm Period (MWP) was a time of warm climate from about 900 A.D.
to 1300 A.D. when global temperatures were apparently somewhat warmer than at
present. Its effects were evident in Europe where grain crops flourished,
alpine tree lines rose, many new cities arose, and the population more than
doubled. The Vikings took advantage of the climatic amelioration to colonize
Greenland, and wine grapes were grown as far north as England where growing
grapes is now not feasible and about 500 km north of present vineyards in
France and Germany. Grapes are presently grown in Germany up to elevations of
about 560 m, but from about 1100 A.D. to 1300 A.D., vineyards extended up to
780 m, implying temperatures warmer by about 1.0-1.4°C (Oliver, 1973). Wheat
and oats were grown around Trondheim, Norway, suggesting climates about 1°C
warmer than present (Fagan, 2000)."

Grape Harvest Date Histories Reveal Little To No Change Since The 1600s-1800s

Yes, it shows so well why cAGW advocates require their temperatures to start at
about 1979, if it were later the apparent "warming" would be trivial.

Lets start using the temperature from 1935-40 as the new normal reference, eh?
