Abstract
Oxygen isotope analysis of anew ice core from the crest of the Greenland ice sheet reveals a climatic record of the past 1,420 years. Climatic changes of medium frequencies are in phase with corresponding changes in Iceland and England, whilst long-term changes at mid Atlantic longitudes are out of phase with Europe and North America.
Reconciliation with Norse history suggests a strong climatic impact, and a parallel is drawn to the present critical situation of the human society.
