A melting Greenland is the front line in the fight against global warming as scientists try to predict the future. TIME's Bryan Walsh visited this 'unfrozen tundra' to learn how drilling deep into Greenland's past can help predict its fate in the future.

September 29th, 2008 4:18 pm ET Global warming is not affecting the frozen tundra in Greenland. Fact is that in the middle ages, I believe the vikings colonized Greenland. Later Greenland got colder and they left. Weather on the Earth changes constantly called global warming or cooling. This was a prime example. There were no cars, factories or Al Gore with Man Bear Pig. |

September 30th, 2008 12:36 am ET Learning from our past makes sense. By drilling into the tundra, & taking sore samples, we should be able to determine a rudimentary impression of what life forms (ie. botanical, zoological – vertebrate/inveterbrate) existed at different time periods. Dependent on which stratum they were found, a basic idea of what the climate was like then should be able to be determined. |
