Santa Can Start A Tree Farm!

OSLO (Reuters) – Trees in the Arctic region may grow 500 km (300 miles) further north by 2100 as climate change greens the barren tundra and causes sweeping change to wildlife, a leading expert said.

A quickening melt of snow, ice and permafrost will enable more southerly species such as pine trees or animals such as foxes to move north.

“Changes seem to be happening even more rapidly than we had anticipated just 10 years ago,” Aevar Petersen, chair of the Conservation of Arctic Flora and Fauna (CAFF), told Reuters from Greenland on Thursday, where foreign ministers of Arctic countries agreed steps to bolster regional cooperation.

“Scientists estimate the treeline could move 500 km north by 2100 from now,” he said, based on CAFF projections. If that happened, as much as half the Arctic tundra from Siberia to Canada could vanish.

    Living things moving further north. Is that bad?

    I concur. I’d have thought the greenies would be happy to see habitat expansion.

      Not with Global Climate Disruptipation. ALL results are terrible! Terrible, I tell you! It’s the dreaded BadGood of CAGW.

    WOW!
    The tree line might be able to reach past tree lines! Historical records show other wise. “IF” Humans can impact climate the globe “Might” return to conditions experienced during the Roman Warm Period in a couple hundred years. As Steven Says chances are equal that a Monkey could take flight out of his posterior region
