Recent climate history:• Earth began warming out of the last Ice
Age about 18,000 years ago.• 1,000 years ago Icelandic Vikings
settled on Greenland’s southwestern coast.
• About 800 years ago temperatures dropped, leading to the Great Famine in Europe.
• Around 400 years ago the Northern Hemisphere plunged into depths of a “Little Ice Age” (not a true Ice Age”).
• The past century has witnessed two distinct warming periods, between 1900-1945, and between 1975-1998.
• Earth has been cooling since then.
