Many years ago, about 1000 A.D. I think, when the Vikings were sailing in that part of the north Atlantic, Greenland was a green land, and got its name from the green landscape. So we know there have been climate changes in the past that had nothing to do with SUVs.
When did the last ice age end, about 10,000 years ago? Couldn’t we say we’ve been having global warming ever since then? Would Al Gore prefer that half of the continental United States be covered by a glacier?

Actually my understanding of the name Greenland was a real estate scam to entice people to move further west. Although there was arable land there at the time it still was cold and bleak over most of it.

Yes he would, the red states (which is actually more than half of the continental United States).
