    I suspect this would be quite interesting, could you give any kind of (brief) synopsis for the linguistically challenged.

    Given the imposture of Anthropic Climate Warming, it would be difficult to describe Edward the Danish as "denialist" because in 1950 he had mentioned a "global warming" beginning in 1860, having nothing to do with the increase in dioxide carbon, but being part of large cycles and small cycles ...
    Edward the Dane was director of the Scientific and Technical Office of the Maritime Fisheries.

    His 204-page book is fascinating because of the author's mastery of many subjects: the climate, astronomy, agriculture, the history of civilizations ....

    Here is a very brief excerpt concerning the history of the apogee and the decline of the Norman Empire due to the deglaciation and glaciation dynamics between the Xth and XVth centuries.

    "... It was after a bloody tragedy that Eirik the Red left with his family the canton of Jaeder, in the south of Norway around 970 and discovered the Land of Ice, Iceland, where he He established the first exploration with his relative Nadodd, and in 982 he moved westward after other murders to find the reefs reported by Viking Gunnbjiern and discovered Greenland, Green Earth. There was much discussion as to why the huge icy island received this name, and it is thought that it was given to it by the dark-green coloring of the crystalline rocks which form its essential base, but as strange as that. It may be that on the coast, at that time, the vegetation allowed Eirik the Red to be so aptly named, and returned to Iceland in a new expedition in 986. Fourteen out of twenty-five drakkar had departed threw on the island the green the first settlers of the Eystrigbugd and the Norman settlements prospered. Around the year 1000, the sons of Eirik continued the great discoveries; Leif landed in Labrador, but having suffered from the harsh climate of this disinherited land, he called it Hell's Land or Helluland.

    Then Leif went south and saw the island of Newfoundland, and traded with the Indians and named this Scandinavian counter, the market country or Marktland; then he continued his way to the sun and spotted the low coast of Cape Cod. A happy surprise awaited him because he recognized in the plants of the native flora vine plants and the land became the wine country, Vinhland.

    America was discovered about 500 years before Columbus. The traditions of the United States have changed, no one knows why, the name of Leif in that of David Erikson. Leif was a Christian and evangelized the Greenland Pagans and perhaps even the Indians. The other sons of Eirik, Thorvald and Thorstein, as well as his daughter Freydisa, left the lichens of Iceland to settle in the fertile country of Vinhland. The drakkars constantly brought new settlers and the Vikings advanced among the Indian tribes, negotiating or fighting. They explored the Great Lakes and moved south to Kentucky where runic inscriptions were found. All the coasts of the western Atlantic were known as far as Cape Hatteras.

    This extraordinary extension of the Norman Empire was possible only because it was carried out under exceptional conditions. For several centuries, the pack ice was in decline, icebergs were rare off Iceland, Greenland and American coasts. A mild climate, almost temperate allowed the grass to grow on the Greenland cliffs and it was warm enough in Cape Cod for the vine to grow. But then a problem arises immediately: why this great Viking Empire did not survive?

    On the American coast, the dispersion of a small number of Normans on the immense continent no doubt brought about a complete fusion with the Indians, and the great discoveries of the sons of Eirik the Red fell into oblivion.

    On the other hand, in Greenland, colonization had spread; the Vikings created two settlements on the coast, the Osterbygd and the Vesterbygd, which roughly corresponded to the current districts of Julianshaab and Godthaab, and their hunting grounds extended well beyond that, as rune-engraved runes were discovered. the stone upernivik. Continuous maritime relations united the Scandinavian countries with their overseas territories. Reports were sometimes strained between the metropolis and its colonies, and bloody quarrels frequently arose between Greenlanders and Nordic smugglers, Easterners or Ostmaend. At that time there were peaceful monasteries on the coast; it is even said that some emigrants had founded a small establishment on Jan Mayen's Land. And this state of affairs continued until the beginning of the thirteenth century.

    But from 1210, the situation changed; the ice began to increase in numbers and the dangerous drift of icebergs jeopardized navigation. Greenlandic settlers appeal to Norway for supplies; the sovereigns do their best to improve the precarious lot of their distant subjects; special envoys pass with difficulty through the Norwegian Sea to bring royal encouragement; then communications become difficult even with Iceland. The large ice islands are squeezing more and more off the western colonies. Famine begins in the course of the fourteenth century, the cold becomes intense, diseases decimate the descendants of the glorious Vikings. Around 1360, the Vesterbygd disappears; then comes the glacial outburst of the fifteenth century. Under the exceptional force of the apihelium-apse coincidence of 1430, the great pack ice breaks up and the ice floes are so numerous that the coasts of Greenland and Iceland are absolutely blocked. The Osterbygd dies and ends around 1480, under the assault of the hungry Eskimos. Iceland is inward-looking, ravaged by an epidemic of leprosy.

    The Great Norman Empire is dying and the pack ice is spreading its frozen shroud on the last vestiges of the colonization of the Vikings. We can therefore place the culmen of the ice invasion in the mid-fifteenth century. This concordance of historical facts gives serious support to the hypothesis of the influence of the perihelium cosmic rhythm-apsid node on the fluctuations of the pack ice.
