The Norse people farmed land on Greenland, which is too cold now to enable that.

The point I’m making is that there was previously a Medieval warm period, which ended around the 12th century, and the Little Ice Age followed, which ended around 1850. During that period, thickening sea ice between Iceland and Greenland made travel very difficult.

The climate changes and causes significant disruption to lives which can be relatively sudden - a bit like we’re going through right now.
