Real Climate Science

The next four or five weeks are the hottest of the year in Nuuk, Greenland. The farming forecast looks ideal. I can hear the tall corn crackling.

High temperatures look like Boulder, Colorado in February.

South Greenland’s chief agricultural advisor, Kenneth Hoeg, envisions a world where all of southern Greenland could have commercially viable vegetable farms and forests. On a recent visit to Qanasiassat he said “If it gets warmer, a large part of southern Greenland could be like this. If it gets a little warmer, you could talk about a productive forest with enough wood for logs.”

The new life in Southern Greenland is coming at the expense of northern Greenland’s vast ice sheet. The sheet covers 80% of the island and is melting rapidly, threatening the native way of life and a massive rise in sea level.

This is the southern tip of Greenland on June 23, 2011. No one is doing any farming here. The ground is covered with snow. The glaciers are not melting down. Sea ice is drifting down the coast.

How many stories have we heard in the MSM about global warming making farming viable in Greenland?

Is there a ‘we’ in climate change? Or just an ‘I’?
Al Gore in a new article claims that controlling climate change is a collective struggle for Americans. Instead, it may be an individual opportunity for entrepreneurs.

They told us during the Olympics last year that global warming had ruined skiing in British Columbia.
