And before that Vikings were farming Greenland, which got it's name because it was so green when approached from sea. When looking history you can find out how weather changing from warm to cold has played a big role in Europe. It was a lot warmer 2000 years ago and previous warm period between cold periods of current ice age cycles was also clearly warmer than current one.What about the Little Ice Age of the 1600s or so? How can you say it was much warmer then?
All I know, it has been warmer, it has been colder, it will be warmer and it will be colder, they know at least 5 million years of warm and cold, yet that does not make headlines, it would not sell as it shows everything in context and it does not look enough bad to sell.
I'm not saying that we haven't caused something and also I'm not saying that we should not find better ways do things, all I'm saying is that headlines are bit untrue, it is really true that it is not warmest ever.
That cartoon seem to be yet again one of those that is not really showing truth, but more of trying to create proper wanted image, one can find some truth only by reading all the studies, matter is hugely complex and quite bit unrelated to subject of "warmest ever", but still rather interesting in a way how wildly twisted our world actually is, but that also does not really belong to this subject.
All I can say that during last 24 hours temperature on my yard has increased over 800%, which would provide quite interesting looking skyrocketing graph, if I would include only few of mornings
