"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 University

Apart 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.

So....what they are saying.....is that global warming is going make the Vikings come back and pillage the seacoasts??

[FrankR]

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

Oh, I'm sorry, you were trying to use this to make a case for "climate change"...forgive me...on with the ruse.

DNA Study To Settle Ancient Mystery About Mingling Of Inuit, Vikings

There was no sign in the DNA of any Viking - Inuit mixing.

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....

Climate played big role in Vikings’ disappearance from Greenland

Ya think?

[stylin19a]

and only 150 years later the residents of Roanoke Colony disappeared ...coincidence ? I think not.

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.

It also played a big role in their disappearance from the Metrodome.

Smithsonian Natural History Museum has the story Greenland. I have posted this several times in the past.

With all due respect to Brown University, the fate of the Norse settlements in Greenland and the role of climate change in their demise has been documented by Helge and Anne Stine Ingstad (The Viking Discovery of America, Checkmark Books, New York 2001). No doubt also by others. I recall reading, somewhere, that the last wedding ceremony peformed in the Norse church on Greenland occurred on a date somewhat earlier than Columbus’ 1492 voyage of exploration.

Tomorrow, the county where I live will set a new record for days in a row without breaking the 70 degree mark if the temperatures do not warm up in the next ten days. We are now at 245 days of below 70 degree weather. From the looks of the forecast, we’re on track for that record, we’ll be lucky to break 60 degrees. For the most part, Alaska has had warmer temperatures this spring than Whatcom County, WA.

And here I thought it was all because of the Dallas Cowboys :)

Musta been those aliens with their fossil-fuel burning spaceships causing climate change. It's all in Area 51!

(Is the /sarc necessary?)

[wintertime]

Hm???....The Sinagua people of Arizona disappeared at about the same time. I wonder if the same climate change that affected the Vikings also impacted the Sinagua. Could be.
