The thing that is not happening is already having some real world impact:

The Greenland base was entombed in ice. At the time, it was thought it would be entombed "forever" (thank you to CrossLOPER for pointing out that term should be used very carefully

)
Both facilities will likely "rot in place"; too bad if you are a resident or live nearby.

It has always been happening https://www.google.nl/search?client=...GNdVjz-px3j1M:

What also always been happening is that religion flourishes when things get a bit inconvenient, and manmade-global warming is a religion, everything happened before. Ever thought about why Greenland is called Greenland, here's why, during the medieval warmth it was green furtile land

Maybe, the way I understood it, it was called Greenland to encourage people to settle there; Iceland was so-named to discourage settlement.
An early example of "truth in real estate development".

After a little bit of exercising my Google abilities it seems both explanations have support.
Thank you Fragony

Your welcome, just bring an umbrella when it rains, we can't control this, it's really idiotic to think we can

You are all aware that this a Putin's weapon test?

If you won't come to Mother Russia, Mother Russia will come to you.

Something did come from Russia, the Syberian air. FFS it's cold, today slightly less but my hands are still blue after cycling in the morning, it has been really cold all week.

Correlation not causation.

Okay, they're not sure that warming in the Arctic causes cold spells down south, it just seems to happen that way.
The observation does not rule out some other, as yet unobserved or overlooked cause.
So "global warming" might make some of us cold, damn cold
