"Greenland's early Viking settlers were subjected to rapidly changing climate. Temperatures plunged several degrees in a span of decades, according to research from Brown University

Apart from being IMPOSSIBLE because the climate is warming don't you know, this this has been a known fact for a very long time. Greenland - GREENland - used to be warm and now it's not - Duh!

This is on a par with discovering that the sun gives us daylight.

Yep. I learned it in the fifth grade, 1955. ‘Course you and I aren’t shooting for government grants.

That’s blasphemy. It’s man’s “presence” that collectively heats up the earth according to the glo-bull warming alarmists.

I hope you have a link backing up this claim.

I've studied this for years and have concluded that its my wife's alarm clock that gives us light. That thing goes off and within minutes I have to roll over and put a pillow over my head because its so bright. It also gets much noisier almost immediately. People screaming "Where's my books?", "Get out of the bathroom!" , etc.

Tonight as an experiment I'm going to unplug the thing and yank the backup battery and prove that I'm right.

I'll ping you once my results are published. ;-)

It’s interesting. I ran across something just today about how Eric the Red gave Greenland it’s name as a clever marketing ploy. That it really wasn’t a green land but he wanted people to move there to build the population, so he named it Greenland to make people think it was a nice place.

Now, it happens that I remember this little “fact” from before all the AGW BS got started. But this study confirms the theory I came up with to resolve the marketing theory with what we now know.

I think historians couldn’t figure out why people migrated to what they could only see as a barren, cold place that Greenland is today so they worked out a pretty good explanation with the “marketing” thing. All the pieces seem to fit. In truth, back then they just had no way of knowing that Greenland had actually been green back in Eric’s day.

But here’s the twist, NOW AGW nuts point to the “marketing” scam as absolute proof that that Greenland was never warm. Getting liberals to acknowledge this factual study will be like.... well... getting libtards to acknowledge any truth.
