It may have actually been the opposite, the medieval warm period overlaps quite well with the Viking age meaning it's entirely possible that the longer growing period caused a population surplus and overflow. I actually have a hypothesis that the same thing happened in antiquity causing the Germanic migration out of Scandinavia. Same thing possibly caused the Nordic Bronze age.
