I wonder why the Vikings called it Greenland?

When I was young my Dad was stationed in Greenland on a remote assignment for a year. Like every family we have a big box of pictures and nestled in there one can find snapshots of my dad's life while he was away. One thing you won't find in any of those pictures is green. Everything is covered in snow and ice.

Now, Greenland is Greenland is melting.

It makes one wonder if this is man-made global warming or is Greenland merely returning to the state it was found in by Vikings 1,000 years ago?
