Short summary

This study aims to determine the nature of the climate in Labrador in historical times (late 18th century), which is crucial to understanding past climate changes in the Arctic and their causes. It is equally important to estimate the range of natural climate variability, which can help in correctly recognizing the causes of present and future climate changes – especially the influence of humans on climate. The analysis shows a significant warming from historical to present times.
