“With the onset of the Little Ice Age (from 1300 to 1850), conditions deteriorated across the Norse lands, particularly for people living on marginal farmland in Iceland, northern Norway, and Greenland.”......”Today, Greenland is warming up,.....”

And ever since 1850, things have continued warming back up - gee, imagine that!?!?!?!?!, as if the earth even needed your SUV to warm back to where it had been when the Norse thrived in Greenland.

Funny thing too, when that great warming occurred

(about an average 3 degrees centigrade warmer than today, at its height - which is where the alarmists say we will be in 200 years),

beginning around the tenth century and lasting to the early 14th, there are no geologic or social records of massive world coastal inundations from massively rising seas. Apparently nature deals with actual climate change, actual “warming” far differently than do the alarmists’ mathematical models. So much for climate GIGO (garbage in, garbage out).

I always wondered why the consensus was that the Greenlanders starved or were wiped out by the natives. They came by boat, so why couldn’t they just leave by boat?

Money quote from the article: “I imagine this old Norse man standing in his sodden, graying field with a couple of scrawny cattle and saying to his son, ‘One day, this will all be yours,’ “ he says. “And the son gets on the next ship to Reykjavik.” :-))

Methinks this thread is one big "fish" story.
