“Several researchers…have suggested that Iceland experienced a mild climate around the time of the Norse settlement(~A.D. 870-930), and in the 11th and 12th centuries. There is no concrete evidence for this, as there are no contemporarydocuments for this time….there is no firm foundation of data for a so-called “Climatic Optimum” during the early years of Iceland’s history”

Effects of Higher Temperatures on Arctic Lakes
Increased duration of ice-free period More melting/runoff—greater sediment flux Higher nutrient flux
RESULT: More biological productivity/diversity (diatoms) Thicker annual sediment layers (varves) Increase in median grain size

…Over 100 coral species bleached, including bleachingand partial death of large Porites colonies that werecenturies old. This bleaching appeared to be a combinedeffect of raised temperatures, exacerbated in the centralGBR by massive flows of rainwater in January…”
