If historical records are to be believed for four hundred years the Vikings lived in Greenland and actually prospered. It was originally called Vineland because the mild climate enabled grapes to be grown. Then the climate turned cold and they had to abandon Greenland. So what did Polar Bears do during that warming phase? Phone for takeout? Anyone who has been to the Exit Glacier near Seward will have seen the signs which start miles away showing where the glacier was at different dates. Two hundred years ago it was six miles away. Was there global warming caused by cars two hundred years ago? Not likely.

We wondered the same thing when we went to see the Fox Glacier in New Zealand. A sign on the road told where the glacier was in 1750 & then up the road about 1/4 mile was another sign that said the glacier was here in 1850 & in another 1/4 mile (aprox.) you saw the glacier. What caused the global warming that melted the glacier from 1750 until the 20th century? Could it be.................... nature? Nah, it was the Maories.
