Interesting comment on the global warming scam

[TylerDurden]

Err, one rather more likely reason given for why Greenland is called Greenland is because humans have a foolish habit of trying to give nice names to unpleasant places, hoping in some way that some kind of nominative determinism will then apply and make the place seem nicer than it is. A similiar example is the decidedly wrongly named Pacific ocean which is anything BUT peaceful, given the ring of fire etc. Another example.- the cape of good hope, and so on.

Greenland wanted settlers, thus they named it Greenland.

Iceland did NOT want settlers, thus the name.

It was said tongue in cheek, it may not even have been greenland but ground/earth land. my main point is that the ice core samples demonstrates a constant change in temperature during the last 100.000 years.
