I demand an investigation into this research!  How is it these researchers could find evidence of trees, insects, and other various items which prove that Greenland was once a rich, lush, GREEN land, and not find evidence of prehistoric SUV’s?

Ice-covered Greenland really was green a half-million or so years ago, covered with forests in a climate much like that of Sweden and eastern Canada today.

An international team of researchers recovered ancient DNA from the bottom of an ice core that indicates the presence of pine, yew and alder trees as well as insects.

The researchers, led by Eske Willerslev of the University of Copenhagen, Denmark, say the findings are the first direct proof that there was forest in southern Greenland.

Included were genetic traces of butterflies, moths, flies and beetles, they report in Friday’s edition of the journal Science.

[...]"These findings allow us to make a more accurate environmental reconstruction of the time period from which these samples were taken, and what we’ve learned is that this part of the world was significantly warmer than most people thought," Martin Sharp, a glaciologist at the University of Alberta, Canada, and a co-author of the paper, said in a statement.

But but but how could this be?  There were no SUV’s back then, no factories, no air conditioning units, no lear jets.   Hell, they didn’t even have carbon offsets way back then either….
