Just read the news of a Green Greenland. Man apparently survived a warmup that melted ALL of Greenland?

Question

My question is how? I note that the estimates put this large climate warming peak back about 1-3 ice ages ago.

Does anybody know HOW we ever survived such an intense warming period? Without the Consensus telling us what we had to do or die? Without Carbon Credits to large companies to bulldoze the jungles to save us? Without computers charting our way based on simplified data and guesstimates in programming?

Do you suppose we could get more of value by promoting the researches of the groups involved as to what happened and how man survived?

Seems from the report that Greenland was forested then and the Vikings only 1000 years ago raised vegetables in Greenland. Yet I have been told that the soils to be exposed by warming now are sterile and unusable.

Or is it just simply not possible that we can survive this one without giving up our freedoms to certain politicians and our money to selected big international industries?

3DM...thanks for the input. The story I saw way down in a list on science put this warming at between 100,000 and 300,000 years ago.
Dunno how man survived, tho perhaps man did not exist at the time?

Answer 1

Here's what you need t know about the Liberal mentality that blindly supports the theory of man-made global warming: even if you PROVE to them that man is not causing global warming, he'll simply respond, "If I'm wrong and global warming is a myth, what we will do is good for the environment anyway". I'm not making this up! Just read this dopey posting yourself:

Good point about Greenland. How about the fact that NASA has recorded an increase in temperature on ALL the planets of the solar system and attributes it to increased solar radiation? How about the fact, drawn from ice core samples, that CO2 in the atmosphere is NOT the cause of increased temperature? There has often been a 400-1000 year lag between one and the other!

If anyone answers this question and doesn't watch the video below, you're just wasting our time with uninformed nonsense. We know what the Liberal press is trying to brainwash you into thinking. This video is the antidote.

Maybe the inhabitants moved into Canada or down south. The Inuits here share a very similar language with the Inuits of Eastern Canada, which is not far away by boat, or if there was ice between the two countries, they could have easily crossed on foot or sleds (or sledges). Greenland's center is actually below sea level due to the massive pressure put upon it by the weight of the ice. I've also seen maps that show Greenland has high points of over 11,000 feet. It's all rocky here, at least in northern Greenland. We do have some vegetation, but no trees. I think that life can survive anywhere in any environment given sufficient time to evolve to do so. There's evidence of that everywhere, especially with these mosquitoes that are eating me alive. How do they (their eggs) survive such harsh winters???

Answer 3

Melted all of Greenland? Now, looey, you know I don't buy into global warming alarmism, but I have a hard time believing ALL of Greenland was free of glaciers; it just doesn't jibe with legitimate scientific understanding of glaciation within the last 10,000 years. I could maybe buy that significant arable lands existed along a great portion of the coast line.

Keep chipping away, though. I think we'll find that the Greenland ice sheet is NOT melting as fast as previously claimed, or possibly growing. We already know that Antarctica appears to be putting down more ice. We also know that they keep scaling back those catastrophic flood warnings. Eventually, these researchers that constitute the "consensus" will get tired of prostituting their scientific integrity and they will slink off to a lower profile but valid research project.

Answer 4

Gee not only that but if the sun effects our climate as we all kn ow it does, then does the fact that scientists are watching the largest storm ever seen on Mars put any credence to the fact that the so called global warming may be really caused by the sun? I think maybe it does. And why else would the Vikings have named it Greenland if it was frozen over? Oh but don't confuse the Al Gore followers with facts and questions they might take away your scientific funding or call you bad names.

Answer 5

Yes humans will survive.
