It is called Greenland because they wanted people to go there to settle it and didn't want them to know what a frozen wasteland it was. Global warming is real and man-made (not caused by the sun). The Earth will eventually reach an equilibrium when the temperature increase ceases. We can expect more extreme weather, places getting wetter, places getting drier, even places getting colder with more snow than normal, but in the long run the planet will have a higher average temperature and the sea will rise.

yes but they still did settle it and grow crops it was perfectly hospitable.

you have contributed nothing positive or useful to this thread. red karma away. you can't even log in as your account to post, which means you are a) a shill b) dishonest and hiding. i don't play that.

i pay for an account so i can monitor my threads. that's the whole point. don't like it, take the admin to task, and good luck.

A bit of math here:

The earth is coverered 3/4 by water.
The earths radius is about 6400 km (6.4 x 10^6 m)

The surface area of a sphere is 4*pi*r^2

The volume of water needed to raise the ocean 1" is


3/4*4*pi*(6.4 x 10^6 m)^2*1 in/39.39 in/m

= 9.7 Trillion cubic meters = 9.7 trillion tons of water


So even if the ice sheet is loosing 100 billion tons a year

it would take 97 years at this rate to raise the oceans a total of 1"

1 Inch in 97 years..............Oh the horror.


Remember when the "ozone hole" was going to kill all of us.......then someone pointed out that ozone holes form over the poles ever 6 months during the winter on that part of the earth........then it regenerates every summer.

I'm not sure, now in the Arctic ice is generally difficult to find - almost no long-term (for the first time in history), the remains of annuals, too, are melting LoL
