Need a fact check on this one:

The Vikings colonized portions of Greenland and were able to plant warm-weather crops such as potatoes.

[null and void]

That was after they went to Peru to get the seed potatoes, duh!

[jjotto]

No excuse for such a mistake.

“The Vikings colonized portions of Greenland and were able to plant warm-weather crops such as potatoes.”

Yeah......No!
Potatoes are native to Peru and that didn’t get discovered for awhile and Amazon wasn’t around for ordering....so.

The Vikings did plant barley and other grains that allowed the colonization of Greenland. When the climate reverted to it’s former, and present, state of colder than a witch’s t%t the barley/grains failed and so did the Vikings colony.

[elbook]

they did (starting around 1000AD) and then the ice age cycle came around again a few centuries later and the climate turned quite cold (also the grass didn’t grow for their cattle and for whatever reason the settlers didn’t take advantage of the fish filled seas)

Sea rise is just another part of the scam - Next time some idiot tells you Venice (O M G !) is flooding cuz of ‘global warming’, tell them Venice IS built onto a swampy lagoon and has been sinking for 1000 years (as long as people have lived there) AND its just they haven’t lately been doing new construction ATOP the sunken buildings as they once historically did (because no TOURI$T wants to pay to see modern buildings )
