Magma May Be Melting Greenland Ice

[Butterflykisses]

SAN FRANCISCO—Global warming may not be the only thing melting Greenland. Scientists have found at least one natural magma hotspot under the Arctic island that could be pitching in.

In recent years, Greenland’s ice has been melting more and flowing faster into the sea—a record amount of ice melted from the frozen mass this summer, according to recently released data—and Earth’s rising temperatures are suspected to be the main culprit

Somehow, someway, it will end up as President Bush's Fault. Just give it time.

Did you all know that Greenland was originally named Greenland because it was Green and not ice and Iceland was named Iceland because it was all ice at one time. This is a documented fact.

Greenland was first inhabited about 4,500 years ago. The earliest residents arrived from the west, but either left or died due to periods of exceptionally cold weather and/or poor hunting. Signs of their presence have been found near Maniitsoq. The region seems to have then been uninhabited for about 3,000 years.

[B]The next migration came from the east, following "Erik the Red" Thorwaldsson's exploration of the southern coast of Greenland between 982 and 985 AD. In 986, he led a group of Viking families from Iceland, and settled at Brattahlid, traditionally known as Qassiarsuk (route map). The climate at this time was very warm, much wamer than it is today, and crops were able to do well. It seems likely that the name "Greenland" was given to the country, not just as wishful thinkful, but because it was a climatic fact at that time. [B]

I saw Greenland (aerial view) a couple years ago, and there is still plenty of ice.

Somehow the hotter magma will be blamed on the USA by Gore and his minions.

Magma May Be Melting Greenland Ice I blame Global Warming...

I blame Global Warming...

I blame car exhasut and bovine methane heating up the magma
