One of the feared consequences of the current warming trend is the Greenland
icecap melting, changing the mass balance of the Atlantic surface water,
thus upsetting the flow of the Gulf Stream. If that happens, they will be
skiing down to Sicily.

Isn't there a reason it's called Greenland rather than Whiteland?

1. The obvious name (Iceland) had already been used.

2. It was a real estate marketing ploy.
