I wasn’t trying to deny that Greenland cooled off after being a bit warmer and more hospitable; that was the Medieval Warm Period, after all. My comment was just about the indications that it was never THAT warm or THAT hospitable; calling it “Greenland” may have been one of history’s greatest bait-and-switch sell-jobs, particularly for the Vikings that followed Erik the Red there and survived what it threw at them.
Even if Greenland wasn’t really green, that still doesn’t explain why parts of Iceland (now there’s an inviting name for you, LOL!) were warm enough to grow grapes at one time, or the historical records that the permafrost in Russia or Scandinavia was much deeper (indicating warmth) than now. We can talk about the Medieval Warm Period and the LIA, but the bottom line is that in the last 1000 years or so, things were considerably warmer than the puny .6 degree that things warmed up last century, sort of putting paid to the AGW acolytes.
The problem for the Gorons is that neither history nor archeology support their pet theories either. And nobody can show that the thick interior of Greenland is melting, when it is actually growing!
