So thanks to natural global warming in the last decade they are finally able to grow crops in Greenland again to support themselves - if it gets a few degrees warmer then it will be similar to the Medieval Warm Period. The people of Greenland better hope this continues. Sadly, it is unlikely to - the earth is entering a cooling period based on all the recent data. Similarly, (if you read the article) the U.K has been able to re-start local wine production over the past decade. Vineyard owners hope the warming trend continues.
lol yes I do... the same method by which they grow them now, and increasingly so, on the 1% arable land. You can keep making absurd conjectures that it was a tropical paradise, but you just come-off as ignorant and deranged. Similarly, it has enabled new crops like apples, strawberries,[25] broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, and carrots[24]
So many of the same crops they grew during the Medieval Warm Period they have been able to start growing in the past few years (I will ignore the modern techniques and the green houses). They have not been able to grow crops there for over 600 years. So the world got slightly warmer. This is a good thing - it finally is warming towards the higher temperatures of the Medieval Warm Period.
. Medieval Warm Period The Medieval Warm Period (MWP), Medieval Climate Optimum, or Medieval Climatic Anomaly was a time of warm climate in the North Atlantic region that may also have been related to other climate events around the world during that time, including in China[1] and other countries,[2][3][3][4][5][6][7] lasting from about AD 950 to 1250.[8] It was followed by a cooler period in the North Atlantic termed the Little Ice Age. Some refer to the event as the Medieval Climatic Anomaly as this term emphasizes that effects other than temperature were important.[9][10] Despite substantial uncertainties, especially for the period prior to 1600 for which data are scarce, the warmest period of the last 2,000 years prior to the 20th century very likely occurred between 950 and 1100, but temperatures were probably between 0.1 °C and 0.2 °C below the 1961 to 1990 mean and significantly below the level shown by instrumental data after 1980. Proxy records from different regions show peak warmth at different times during the Medieval Warm Period, indicating the heterogeneous nature of climate at the time.[11] Temperatures in some regions matched or exceeded recent temperatures in these regions, but globally the Medieval Warm Period was cooler than recent global temperatures.[8] Lemon trees! Mangoes, limes! .
You do realize the modern farming methods include plastic insulation, warmers, and green houses -- that were not used in 1200AD. It finally warmed up enough that with the addition of modern farming methods for cold weather environments they are able to grow crops again in Greenland.
You do realize you're an idiot.

Numbnuts, I thought we were talking about Greenland and Newf? So now you're going to show us that adulterated (Lamb's last point) IPCC chart? http://www.skepticalscience.com/print.php?n=185
Good work drownproof. It's like a game of whack-a-mole with all the bullshit they come up with. Every time it's debunked, but it just keeps coming. Even the stuff that was previously debunked. What's sad is that they think it's OK to be intellectually dishonest/lie about it because it's for the greater good of their ideology. With them it's ideology first, science second. And that's a fucked-up way to be.
