Some people have claimed that Greenland was no warmer 1,000 years ago than it is today...In this essay, I will examine some of the historical facts concerning Greenland starting 1,000 years ago and will then attempt to demonstrate how much warmer Greenland had to be in order to accommodate the history that transpired in this region.

Perfectly suited for the story of the Norse Greenlanders, the most haunting novel I ever read: Jane Smiley’s The Greenlanders (1988): http://www.amazon.com/Greenlanders-Jane-Smiley/dp/0394551206/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr=

It disproves man made global warming.

Greenland was much warmer 1000 years ago than it is today, and it stayed warm for 300 years.

At least 6,000 Vikings lived there, grew crops, raised farm animals, and were completely self-sufficient.

“Although Greenland is not viewable from Iceland....” Too bad they didn’t have Tina Fey living there, then she could have seen it.

Thanks, Grey Friar.

My global warming posts are so good that people are still reading them three years later!

It was warmer and then it got a lot colder. Ships stopped coming from the east, and the Vikings did not make the adaptations to cold that the Inuit did which enabled them to continue living there. So they probably want back to where they had come from or sent their children there.

Re: It was warmer and then it got a lot colder.

Before it got colder, the Vikings also built at least one settlement in Labrador, in NE Canada.

Archaeologists discovered Viking artifacts in Labrador a couple years ago, which I think I also posted on Free Republic.

They were there, and left behind some Viking kitties, part of the ancestry of the Maine Coon Cat.
