"Greenland's early Viking settlers were subjected to rapidly changing climate. Temperatures plunged several degrees in a span of decades, according to research from Brown UniversityApart from being IMPOSSIBLE because the climate is warming don't you know, this this has been a known fact for a very long time. Greenland - GREENland - used to be warm and now it's not - Duh!
This is on a par with discovering that the sun gives us daylight.

It also played a big role in the creation of The Great Lakes.

How about the nearly 60,000 people who live there now? Is it electric blankets, or what?

What climate scientists have been able to ascertain is that an extended cold snap, called the Little Ice Age, gripped Greenland beginning in the 1400s.NS? I read this on the internet 10 years ago.....thank you Brown university....

LOL The land of the Vikings these days are putting out a pack of pussie cats. Hardly likely to attack anything except a man who wants to stop abortions.

and only 150 years later the residents of Roanoke Colony disappeared ...coincidence ? I think not.
To: decimon
What I fail to understand is why so-called intelligent researchers can conclude there were natural and sometimes severe variations in climate the past 2000 years and yet not recognize that the same variations may be naturally occurring today. Yet, they persist in saying humans are responsible for global warming/climate change that may be seen in recent years.
