Do not tell Greenland residents about the trouble with natural global warming
QAQORTOQ, Greenland – The biggest island in the world is a wind-raked place, gripped by ice over four-fifths of its land, prowled by polar bears, its coastlines choked by drifting icebergs and sea ice. Many of its 56,000 people, who live on the fringes of its giant ice cap, see the effects of global warming – and cheer it on.
“It’s good for me,†said Ernst Lund, a lanky young man who is one of 51 farmers raising sheep on the southern tip of Greenland. His animals scramble over the cold granite hills of a dramatic fjord, his farm isolated from the nearest town by a long boat ride threading past drifting mounds of ice, followed by a jolting truck trip along seven miles of gravel road.
“I can keep the sheep out two weeks longer to feed in hills in the autumn. And I can grow more hay. The sheep get fatter,†he said.
Kim Hoegh-Dam is betting a fortune that the changing climate will bring cod back to Greenland. The effusive 44-year-old businessman has lined up more than $1 million to buy a small fleet of cod trawlers and three processing plants.
“Global warming will increase the cod tremendously and will bring other species up from the south,†he said with confidence.
Yup, Mother Nature is being good to the folks in Greenland! Better for them then the UN and their alarmists, eh? But it isn’t good for cats
(CNSNews.com) – A coalition of animal shelters says there has been a "dramatic" increase in the number of cats brought in – and it blames the trend on global warming.
"Today more than ever, animal shelters across the United States are reporting skyrocketing influxes of cats and kittens being brought into their agencies," Pets Across America said in a statement.
According to the group’s president, Kathy Warnick, "many believe global warming is extending cat breeding seasons and causing the cat population to swell."
It couldn’t be because some people are complete a-holes, and do not take care of their pets, or that populations increase when their are no measures to limit them, right? Not like we have feral cat hunting season or anything. The coyote population is, and has been, exploding and spreading. I have seen them behind my townhome and other places. Is that due to global warming or that there is no hunting of them?
And even if global warming is involved, what are you going to do about Mother Earth?
