During the Mediaeval Warm Period, which lasted for some 400 years, from the 9th to the late 13th century, there is evidence to suggest annual rainfall in the UK was higher, but the summers were drier; similar to a present Mediterranean-type climate. Sea ice was largely absent around Iceland and southern Greenland. Here, Viking settlers grew cereal crops, while in Britain viticulture flourished.
Despite higher temperatures CO2 levels were much lower compared with today (0.0210% vs. 0.0418% atmospheric concentration). And, CO2 was declining throughout this period, up until the onset of industrialisation in the 1800s.
