Large swaths of the Arctic tundra will be warm enough to support lush vegetation and trees by 2050, suggests a new study.

And it would be awesome news if it were true.

Sounds like a dang fine place to try out some of them doomsday seeds to me. As far as the new study “suggesting”, I got some suggestions for them as well.

Great. I’ll be able to retire to my summer home in Northern Greenland.

Khrushchev is turning over in his grave....He lost his job mainly because of his disastrous attempts to grow corn and wheat in the tundra.

Global warming beats the heck out of global cooling. In a warm climate, you can sometimes get 2 growing seasons. In a cold climate, you’re lucky to get one season.

Starvation sucks.

If there’s something we’re doing to create lush vegetation in the arctic, we should keep it up.

Great news indeed. I can move my redoubt from north of Lake Huron to the beach, on Hudson Bay.

Is having another area where trees and some cold weather food crops can grow not a good thing? The last time the climate warmed in recorded history, exploration and knowledge really advanced, and a group of Vikings were able to settle in Greenland, because it really was...

I’m doing my best to promote warming.
My roof is black and I installed a bunch of BLACK solar panels.

How many glo-bull warming predictions have come true so far?

Love how they concentrate on the small differences in the northern hemisphere. Sea ice in the southern hemisphere is ahead of the multi-year averages... by a larger margin than the northern ‘deficiency.’

In other words, globally speaking (and the enviros all want us to ‘think globally’), we’ve got more sea ice than normal.

Increased vegetation, especially trees, also mean much more carbon is safely stored rather than released into the atmosphere.

Don't the global warming alarmists always tell us that trees and their capability to store carbon safely is a good thing?

Therefore, if global warming stimulates the growth of more trees, then global warming must be a good thing too!

First, I fail to see how more arable land is necessarily a bad thing, for humans or any other species on the planet.

Second, if billions more acres shift from being covered by ice to being green with plant life, wouldn’t that added green space absorb radically huge amounts of CO2?

It is April 4th 2013 and it is currently -24 below 0 in Cambridge Bay Canada right now. I’m sure the locals in Cambridge Bay wouldn’t mind some global warming.

This kind of talk reminds me of Sheldon, Howard, Leonard and Raj arguing about keeping the storyline consistent in the Star Trek fantasies.
