[at-l] More Global Warming ahead

          I always heard that "Greenland" was called so because they needed 
to sucker Nordics into going there and populating it. Perhaps it was an 
allusion to the vast virgin green Appalachians first seen by Nordic explorers? Such 
an astounding new land, covered in dense eastern forests, would certainly 
elicit the name "green land" from rocky geography inhabitants like the Vikings. I 
would also go further and surmise that Greenland was the objective because 
America was blocked by treacherous seasonal ice flows from the arctic that 
prevented shore-following Viking ships from getting there easily...
