Maybe when someone was growing crops there. NOT that long ago in the scheme of things. Erf’s gonna do what the erf want’s to do no matter how many rules “they” try to enforce.

And Iceland probably used to be all ice, too, I’d think. ;-)

Obviously those pesky SUVs caused it to green just before the Vikings discovered the island and named it Greenland.

Even earlier, here in SW Ohio we were covered by a glacier 1-2 miles thick until temps rose to melt the ice back to the polar regions.

Clearly, SUVs have been around a long time...even before Adam and Eve.

Ain’t history grand?

It was given the name Greenland as a marketing tactic.

It was. The Vikings had quite a civilization there, but chopped down all the trees.

The Vikings called it that, and had settlements there. They later mostly abandoned it when their highly polluting longships caused climate change. < /sarc >
