Its documented, we have the ruins, we have the accounts, we have the remains.

Vikings were raising cattle and sheep on Greenland doing quite well at first and then over the years it got colder and colder forcing them to leave or starve.

This has only come into question, not because of real evidence, but because it clashes with what global warming alarmists want to claim about current temperatures in relation to past ones.

This is really an excellent straw man for me to beat the crap out of if anyone really wants to argue this point, so please, argue away.
So this is what it has come to....Ustwo beating the crap out of anyone who wants to argue about Vikings or Inuits raising cattle and sheep.

Ustwo...how about responding to the fact that nearly every credible science body/organization in the world has endorsed the IPCC position that post-industrial revolution human activities have resulted in increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases that are highly likely to contribute to climate change.

Do you know of any scientific bodies/organizations that do not support this position?
