Vinland was not Greenland, but what is now the island of Newfoundland, part of Canada's province of Newfoundland and Labrador.

I hope this isn't true! It's hard enough to deal with -40 F here on a yearly basis. I don't know how much colder it could possibly get!

No, he said -40 F. LOL Either way, it's cold.

lol, -40F, -40C...same diff..... and yeah! ITS COLD! gotta love Alaska
9,000 years ago, it was damned near all connected. Water (sea) levels were a couple hundred feet lower... more even.
I wonder how many people this flew right past...
We should fill up the rest of the grand canyon. That big U shaped thing can be a diving board.
All nations should begin a program of creating and filling as big of a fresh water reservoir as they possibly can, and then filling it ONLY with water from the ice shelves of the world.
That way, the oceans can evaporate and accumulate more up there, and sea levels will fall.
The result? Instead of drowning current shorelines, new ones and new lands will be created.
Once we perfect railguns, we can start shooting ice chunks to the Moon.
Then, maybe we can stop worrying about a few degrees of change.
Before all that happens though...
The poles will shift and we're all screwed anyway.
Wimp! I grew up in Minnesota:

I'm a Minnesotan originally (moved to So. Cal some years ago), and this made me think of the Minnesota Temperature Conversion Chart:

Duh. -40 is the intersection of the C and F scales.
Interestingly, it's also the freezing point of mercury, approximately.

Gee, Ft. Greely, AK. has hit -69° F.

What do you mean "Either way"? -40° F is -40° C

No, you don't. I lived there in the '70s.

Didn't I put the lol in there? But thanks, it's nice to know that -40 F is the same as -40 C. I always thought that -40 C = -40 F.

You are about as lost as it can get.
You left out the degree mark both times.

BFD. So sue me.
Jeez.
How sophisticated do you need to be to learn how to depress the alt key and 2 then 4 then 8 then release?
