It was once much warmer despite them not burning any fossil fuels. The one thing which should be ttaken from this is that climate change is entirely natural and that current temperatures are by no means unprecendented, as claimed by the climate alarmists.

And horses wore studded horseshoes on frozen lakes. No, I'm not kidding. Our local museum has examples of both. @@virgilius7036

But they are refusing to make a propper conclusion and avoid to question the climate change agenda!

We should be glad to see the glaciers melting. It was warmer during the height of the Viking times than today. Then came the terrible middle ice age and the cold, combined with the plague, wiped out two thirds of the inhabitants of Norway so that the political structure collapsed. Maybe a little global warming is good for a bunch of creatures that came out of the African savannah.

Why are naturally occuring variations in temperature, and thus ice levels, sad?

​@@streuthmonkey1Well, you're clearly trying to deny basic physics and chemistry of the CO2 greenhouse effect. You can list the reasons that motivate you to deny the science?

@@fungussa You just highlighted the problem with you alarmists. It isn't just basic physics and chemistry. You oversimplify an open system based on experiments with a closed system. You ignore the diminishing returns that CO2 has as a greenhouse gas as concentrations rise. You ignore the fact that atmospheric CO2 concentration have not driven temperature for almost the entirety of Earth's existence including all the time there has been life on Earth, just as it does not drive it now. Atmospheric CO2 concentrations have followed global average temperature with a lag of hundreds to thousands of years, during which CO2 continued to rise while temperatures dropped and vice versa. This is what is happening now. Atmopspheric CO2 concentrations are rising in response to the warming period which has coincided with the industrial era. Our current warming period began 30 years before industrialisation and it was this warming as we left the Little Ice Age which created the conditions for industrialisation to occur. Innevitable CO2 concentrations have risen in response, the vast majority of the rise being entirely natural. You ignore the fact that by far the most abundant, effective and variable greenhouse gas is water vapour. In fact just the daily variability of its effect eclipses the total effect of atmospheric CO2. You ignore the various ways that changes in solar activity effect the climate. You ignore the important role of Galactic Cosmic Rays on variability of water vapour/ liquid water in the atmosphere and thus on cloud formation and you underestimate the cooling role of clouds by at least 70%. You ignore the fact that the current rate and scale of change is not unprecendented. There have been far more rapid and greater increases in the past. For example at the end of the Pleistocene the temperature in Greenland rose 7 degrees C in 50-100 years, a far faster and greater rise than that we are currently observing. You ignore the fact that we are currently in the coolest interglacial period of our current ice age. Incomplete failed models and 50 years of failed predictions are the reason I deny the ridiculous claims the climate alarmists continue to make. Claims that get more extreme as time goes on despite less extreme ones not having come to pass. They seem to have only learnt one thing in 50 years. To make longer term predictions so they aren't alive, or at least not active in the field, when they innevitably fail.

In other words, it was much warmer in Norway 1500 years (i.e. the Roman Warm Period). In other words, climate is changing all the time (see Henrik Svensmark for the cosmic rays source of climate control). In other words, the bullying and hysteria of the climate-change constituency is stupid.

They travelled by skis and with snow shoes for horses….

Probably even less than there is now. Skis and snow shoes are used on snow, which does fall in every winter in that part of the world.

Obviously, the glaciers weren't there then. Which kind of pokes holes in man made climate change. But we won't mention that.

The "viking age" is considered to be the period between AD 793 and AD 1066, during what is known as the Medieval Warm Period, which followed on from the Roman Warn Period, which followed on from the Minoan Warm Period. It's almost like life and civilisation benefit from warm weather. 🤔

@@Oinnelstan It can take tens of thousands of years for a glacier to melt. If you’re implying that the glacier suddenly vanished and somehow appeared again in the span of 1000 years then you are trippin. The glacier is what made the route an option in the first place.

@@FredrikSkievanSea levels were higher during the Medieval Warm Period. Why? Less polar ice coverage. This is consistent with paleological data from Greenland, Iceland (flora and fauna types, distribution) etc. Yes, some glaciers do seem to retreat at a leisurely pace, but as your use of the word "can" indicates, some glaciers retreat very swiftly indeed! The wheels are starting to fall off the anthropomorphically caused CO2 driven global warming nonsense. It's a cult, nothing more. For those that believe the CO2 nonsense (and wish to make a positive contribution), turn off your computers, phones etc. and disconnect from the internet, as the infrastructure required to power it all is now one of the single largest consumers of electricity in the world! Yes, all this data is but naught more than electrons. But, hey, the likelihood of my words changing your mind is just as astronomically small as yours changing mine, so we continue to polarise and tribalise until the inevitable happens. The weather is starting to warm up here in Tasmania, the grass is growing tall, the bees are abuzzing. Earth awakens from her cold slumber once more. Be well.

@@FredrikSkievan You said, "It can take tens of thousands of years for a glacier to melt." That is totally untrue, a glacier can melt in less than 100 years. Many have receded dramatically since the late 1800's. See my c*annel.

I'm guessing that crevices in the past, might allow the newer artifacts to drop down to the older artifacts.

It makes sense because claimate alarmists are liars and, despite their claims to the contrary, current temperatures and rates of change are not unprecedented and are entirely natural rather than the result of human activity.

If a glacier is 7000 years old it's cold enough to snow. If it's cold enough to snow the artifacts get buried in the snowpack over time. A glacier is not a single block of ice, but rather a massive slow moving sheet that's changing shape. If you leave an object on it the object sinks slowly.

You know it can be both right? Not just one or the other.@@streuthmonkey1

​@@streuthmonkey1That's fiction. Every single prediction of mankind increasing the CO2 greenhouse effect has been shown to be true.

Your denial of basic physics and chemistry is not an excuse.

@@vincentchauvet6654 You have no evidence for that. Ice melt can be extremely rapid, as can the advance of glaciers. Humans are not part of the equation.

No, this stuff would have been destroyed if it hadn't been left in a place that was permanently frozen. Now that it's melted, the clock is ticking - it will soon rot if it's not found and preserved by a museum.

ssshhh you may get cancelled for not blindly following the narrative

No. They walked over the snow and ice, which is why they found snow shoes for horses.

good point!

So the Vikings had global warming too? Interesting.

Of course the climate does have natural variability. But the climate change that people are worried about is demonstrably man made, extremely rapid, and it will likely be far more extensive than anything humans have seen over the entire historical record. Moreover it is compounding multiple other ecological crises that we are also causing at the same time. We're setting ourselves up for a massive slow motion catastrophe.

@@jellekastelein7316 how do we know the climate change wasn't rapid 1000 years ago?

The guy at 5:07 said the ice had been there for 7000 years. People dropped things in the snow and did not realize it was gone, or simply could not find it, and it remained covered until the present day.

​@@EinsteinsHairthey only listen to what they want to hear. The things that fit their narrative. They can't fathom that 2000 years ago, when the horse was wearing the snowshoe that was found, it was because the horse was walking ON SNOW, not on a jagged rock and boulder field. It doesn't cross their mind that they have been finding different eras of things as the snow melts because the snow built up over the centuries and now it's melting.
