So surely the Vikings must have done something that caused a warming cycle.... (or not.)

What did the Vikings do to make it warmer back then?

Ping.

[jazusamo]

Sounds like the Vikings had a green house gas problem too. :)

Yhe liberals need to pull "Global Warming" off the shelf.

It isn't selling.

Especially when an "Al Gore" moment occurs and the news release hits the public during a major blizzard.

"Little Ice Age, which gripped the Northern Hemisphere from 1580 to 1850."

Was Bush around back then?

[river rat]

Yep, the Earth is warming...

Go tell that to all those Blue Staters with their tiny balls turning blue in the midst of the biggest blizzard in many location's history....

I wonder if they will NOW be more inclined to vote YES on accelerated oil exploration and drill on U.S. property..

I'm glad I kept reading. I thought they were referring to Eller, Page, and Marshall.

The Medieval warming AFL/NFL merger, which encouraged the Vikings to settle previously inhospitable regions of Greenland and Iceland Minnesota, is sometimes cited by critics of modern global warming theories football as evidence that the Earth NFL can experience widespread warming independent of human activity further league expansion.

[tsomer]

Osborn and Briffa say the geographic extent of the current warming, whatever the reason, is more widespread and more pronounced than the one that turned Greenland green 1,000 years ago.

So what are they growing in Greenland these days?

[Cinnamon Girl]

It's all those dang viking saunas. They brought this global warming.

[razorback-bert]

We have had a winter without storms, a spring without mildness, a summer without heat. When can we hope for mild weather, now that the months that once ripened the crops have become deadly sick under the northern blasts? ... Out of all the elements, we find these two against to us: perpetual frost and unnatural drought.

JUNKSCIENCE ALERT

[GladesGuru]

The University of East Anglia is home to the METS computer model which achieved lasting noteriety when it predicted that the summer rainfall in Ireland and the Central Sahara were the same.

As for any claim that the present is as warm as the period when the Vikings were in Greenland, consider that the Chinese fleet of the 1420's sailed around Greenland during the summer. Somehow, I suspect that isn't going to be possible this summer.

And next summer doesn't look good either.

[garyhope]

So what. I don't care. I don't believe it. I've got other fish to fry.

Global warming is cause by 1.8 billion Muslims, 1 billion Chinese, 1 billion Indians, and 300 million South Americans all driving crappy, non emission controlled cars, burning all their trees for charcoal and all those Europeans driving diesel cars spewing noxious fumes and all the cow, sheep, camel, bean and goat farts.

America is a clean and and more environmentally conscientious than the rest of the world combined. We actually do something about it, the rest of the world just jabbers on and on with smug, condescending, self-righteous and meaningless platitudes and no action.

Let's all go live in unheated, unairconditoned mud huts, wear grass skirts, scavenge for "organic" raw food, walk everywhere and save "the environment" for "the children".

[truemiester]

The Vikings caused global warming then caused the earth to cool down again. How? Plundering and looting. Setting towns on fire cause global warming. settleing down to count their loot with the pretty maidens they captured caused the earth to cool. We are not doing enough looting. Need to start now. Being the worlds nice guy is going to destroy the earth!
Nice rant, eh?
