The skeptics have a final trump in the argument: Climate change is actually good. Growing seasons will be longer. Plants like carbon dioxide. Trees devour it. This demonized molecule, CO2, isn't some kind of toxin or contaminant or pollutant -- it's fertilizer.

This is what my husband always says - why don't they ever talkabout the increase in land you can grow on!!

And I say, why is Greenland called Greenland - maybe it used to be green!!! (And farmable)

According to some very authoritative sources, Greenland was just that about 6500 years ago.

why is Greenland called Greenland

Sorry, Greenland didn't used to be green or farmable.

Greenland was named by Eric the Red for the purpose of misleading, and possibly attracting, potential settlers. Greenland was warmer, by just a few degrees when Erik the Red landed there. An ice-cap covers the vast majority of this largest island in the world. People are pretty well restricted to the coasts, which is no picnic either. What we are calling Greenland is actually an independent country named Kalaalit Nunaat.

Now, guess why Iceland was named Iceland.
