The tv guy with the leather man bag visited Greenland to learn about the vikings there.

There is very conclusive evidence that for hundreds of years there were thriving colonies of vikings on Greenland.

The ice age came and the colonies withered andfinally died.

The present alleged warming is actually a reversion to normal.

There’s plenty of viking evidence in canada too. I read somewhere that they think the vikings doomed themselves by stubbornly adhering to european farming practices. Sheep and pigs, etc, and horses for travel. These aren’t the best for arctic like winters. I’ve often wondered why the reindeer herding people from extreme northern scandinavia never colonized canada. Reindeer would’ve thrived there.
