DavidV Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 By David from Truth, Justice, and the American Way,cross-posted by MetaBlog … a brutal cold snap is raging across the semi-autonomous nation of Greenland.On Disko Bay in western Greenland, where a number of prominent world leaders have visited in recent years to get a first-hand impression of climate change, temperatures have dropped so drastically that the water has frozen over for the first time in a decade. Temperatures plunged to -25°C earlier this month, clogging the bay with ice and making shipping impossible for small crafts, according to Anthon Frederiksen, the mayor of the town of Ilulissat, where Disko Bay is located. My point, as usual, is not to debate the facts of climate change, but to demonstrate the potential for a positive impact of a warmer climate for life on earth. A mayor in Greenland of all places, should be the first to welcome a warmer climate. Over 10 percent of the world’s land surface is permanently covered with ice, and much more is essentially lifeless due to seasonal ice. Imagine the possibilities if Greenland, an area slightly three times the size of Texas, and 81% ice-capped, was to actually become green.

Capitalism Forever Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 (edited) Imagine the possibilities if Greenland, an area slightly three times the size of Texas, and 81% ice-capped, was to actually become green. The greens would really hate that. It would make them jealous! Edited January 25, 2008 by Capitalism Forever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clawg Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 The problem with greenland becoming green is that there would be so much more nature that humans could destroy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
