    Maybe don’t use “Iceland” and “slowly warming” in what seems to be a positive story?

      You get downmodded but I felt the same way.

      At a glance one might read they are literally warming up and want to join the EU for help.

        Sure, if you completely skip every other word in the paragraph and have the reading comprehension of a four year old.

          Does not matter. Any good writer would notice how it can be misinterpreted at a glance.

      Wasn’t Iceland and Greenland deliberately named liked this (the oppositeof how they actually are), to cause confusion to medieval sailors? Or is this just an urban legend?

        I don’t know if the Greenland thing is an urban legend, but Greenland was much greener when the Vikings got there because it was during the Medieval Warm Period.
