Recently saw an article about an entrepreneur in Greenland buying up land and farming it. The temperatures there have gone up about a degree and a half from what is the norm, which doesn’t sound like much, but its enough to make agriculture possible.

Its the first time some of this area has been farmed since the Vikings, a thousand years ago. You know, since before the “little ice age” that starved them out.

The current global warming is actually good news. You’d think people would be happy about it. Longer growing seasons in Saskatchewan and Siberia mean more food for more people. But I guess if people want to feel bad about it, you can’t stop them.

The people in tropical countries will get screwed, however, because over there, more hot climate will mean more droughts and parched crops. However, we should not care about this. We don't live in a tropical climate. Those countries should deal with their problems on their own.
