Nordeic Climate Change
« on: June 13, 2017, 04:10:36 pm »


According to these statistics, the climate in Southern Scandinavia has been cooling for 8,000 years.

"The Nordic Bronze Age was characterized first by a warm climate that began with a climate change around 2700 BC (comparable to that of present-day central Germany and northern France). The warm climate permitted a relatively dense population and good farming; for example, grapes were grown in Scandinavia at this time. A wetter, colder climate prevailed after a minor change in climate between 850 BC and 760 BC, and a more radical one around 650 BC.[3]"

We don't even have to go back to 2700 BC.  Britain was a significant wine-producing realm as recently as the Roman occupation of Britain.  Now, the British Isles apparently produce no wine due to the intemperate climate.

Speaking of climate change, the Big Bend Country of West Texas included a major farming area (along the Rio Grande) in the first decades of the 20th Century.  Not anymore.
