Greenland feels effects of global warming

[SON OF HARRY HOPE]

NUUK, Greenland (UPI) -- Global warming has changed the climate in
Greenland to such an extent, it is now possible to raise cattle on the
island for the first time in centuries.

Climate change has also substantially lengthened Greenland's growing
season. "It's already staying warm until November now," potato farmer
Ferdinand Egede told Der Spiegel. And if the trend continues, farmers
could soon be growing broccoli and Chinese cabbage.

Rising temperatures have already added two weeks to Greenland's
growing season, which now amounts to 120 days. With up to 20 hours of
daylight during the summer, the additional two weeks make a huge
difference.

If scientific predictions are correct, Greenland will become a central
setting for climate change. Temperatures on the island are expected to
increase nearly twice as much as across Europe because the Greenland
ice cap -- which once covered more than 80 percent of the island -- is
shrinking at an increasing fast rate.

If the island's growing season -- which now starts in May -- begins
just two weeks earlier, farmers could even grow apples and
strawberries, Der Spiegel noted.

Greenland is a dependent territory of Denmark.

Advice is like snow - the softer it falls, the longer it dwells upon,
and the deeper in sinks into the mind.

Great news! Just when we needed more time to grow crops for an
expanding populous! The LORD works in mysterious ways!

No, sorry... Not true. Limbaugh said "there is no global warming".

I wonder how it got the name GREENland in the first place?

"There's a story there...somewhere"

It was called "Vinland" in an attempt to lure settlers. The colonies
did OK but made the mistake of not listening to the local Iniuts who
tried to indoctrinate them to the harsh winters so after a few of these
they failed and moved on Southwest and died out.
