You know, if this global warming thing keeps happening, Vikings could be raising cattle in Greenland and harvesting grapes in Labrador. They can’t do that now because its too cold, but global warming could make it happen.

Just like it did 1000 years ago.

If the Greenland glaciers started melting during the Midieval Warm Period, then it truly WOULD have been a green land, from all the irrigating water.

Sounds good to me. 50 degrees latitude is about the farthest you can go to grow grapes for wine. The Mosel flows into the Rhine at Koblenz, about 50.3 degrees.

My favorite winery in Germany is in Briedel, and they're at 50.02. Winemakers grow their grapes on one side of the river, the side that receives the most sun. With global warming, they'd be able to grow grapes on both sides of the river, so I'm all for global warming...lol.

Greenland was once the westernmost part of Europe with colonies persisting for 500 years until the climate changed again, which brought the ice, and the Inuit, that drove them off.
