Yes..that's right Gore lovers. Before SUV's....before "Its all mans fault for warming".... GREENLAND WAS ICE FREE!!! Duh. *** environment.newscientist.com/article/dn12201-oldest-frozen-dna-reveals-a-greener-greenland.html"Picture this: sweeping conifer forests, with pine, alder, spruce and yew trees, crawling with beetles, flies and spiders, and with butterflies fluttering through the sun-dappled branches.
It does not sound like a description of Greenland, but scientists say this is what the island looked like half a million years ago. They were able to paint the picture by extracting what is probably the oldest-known DNA from the ice at the base of the Greenland ice sheet."
