Wasn’t their like a natural warm period in the middle ages and now is supposed to be more like an ice age? I am pretty sure it’s still about climate change.
Or rather: climate changed all the time but not at this rate and not caused by a single thing without any feedback loops any more like now.
Look at a map of wine producing regions in Europe. Today wine production ends in west Germany and only really starts again in south-eastern Czech Republic - with some tiny local exceptions. In the middle ages, wine was grown in that gap too. And people start doing it again now.

Yes, there was a warm period where wine was grown as far east as what is now the Czech-German border. It was followed by the little ice age.
What does east have to do with that? FYI wine is still grown north of Prague, on Czech-Austrian border, in Slovakia, Hungary, Moldova, Georgia…

Malaria was whipped out in Germany in the 19th century. So no it is not climate related.
