Climate and Weather

There are two competing sites that do pretty much the same thing from both ends of the argument.
WUWT and your favorite, "Skeptical Science".
They both do a pretty good job finding the goods on eachother. I suggest you start there.

The 97% thing is Cook's Swan Song of bogus tabulation.

Wrong. One cites sources from multiple actual scientists, the other just expresses opinion and pseudo science from a lawyer on fossil fuel payroll.

WUWT doest site multiple actual scientists?
Do yourself a solid and attempt to look at another angle.
 
It appears you arent growing corn in Greenland this week.

The Vikings never grew "corn " as we know it now (maize) - they grew barley when the weather permitted and gathered native hay to feed their livestock over the winter.

What was you point for chiming in on this topic? If necessary, you can just quote or point to the twitter feed that got you spun up today.

I posted the article years ago, sherlock.

Remember?
Sorry if thats a trick question for you.
 
If you feel I have attacked you, have at it. One attack is the same as another really...
I dont fully understand "adhominem", so I check with the expert (you), first.
I figured "bunny rabbit" was about as warm and fuzzy as I can get.

You melted my snowflake a little with your reply.
Did you ad-hominem me, and am I supposed to say unspeakable things about your mother, or not?
 
Yo!!! Sherlock...MAGOO!!!


The Vikings are both famous and notorious for their like of beer and mead, and archaeologists have discussed for years whether Eric the Red (ca. 950-1010) and his followers had to make do without the golden drink when they settled in Greenland around the year 1,000.

The Greenland climate was mild when they landed, but was it warm enough for growing corn?

Researchers from the National Museum in Copenhagen say the answer to the question is ‘yes’. In a unique find, they uncovered very small pieces of charred grains of barley in a Viking rubbish heap on Greenland.

The find is final proof that the first Vikings to live in Greenland did grow barley – the most important ingredient in brewing beer, making a form of porridge or baking bread, traditionally seen as staple foods in the Vikings’ nutritional diet.

“Archaeologists have always believed that the Vikings tried to cultivate the soil on their farms in fertile southern Greenland,” says Peter Steen Henriksen, who holds an MSc in agriculture. “But this hasn’t been proved until now.”

Settling in a harsh environment
Henriksen, an archaeobotanist at the National Museum's Environmental Archaeology and Archaeometry section (NNU) in Copenhagen, led an expedition to Greenland to study how the Vikings tackled the task of settling in a cold and harsh environment.

“Now we can see that the Vikings could grow corn, and this was very important for their nourishment and survival,” he says.

The find also substantiates a well-known text from about 1250, ‘King's mirror (Konungs skuggsjá)’, which mentions in passing that the Vikings attempted to grow corn on Greenland. It is the only report about cultivating barley that we have from that time.

Researchers believe the Vikings probably grew barley in small quantities, compared with the large, billowing cornfields we have today, and sowed barley in small enclosures that were no bigger than their ability to irrigate the corn and keep hungry animals out.

am I supposed to say unspeakable things about your mother, or not?

It seems resorting to ad hominem is a natural state of being to you, you can't really choose, it just comes out of you. Because you make weak attempts to tone it down, really is meaningless. Complaining when others mirror your "fuzzy" attacks with not fuzzy, is a comedy bonus.

And what's your point? Is there some dispute about this?

Bunny Rabbit too offensive, huh.
Interesting.
