NARSARSUAQ, Greenland: A strange thing is happening at the edge of Poul Bjerge's forest, a place so minute and unexpected that it brings to mind the teeny piece of land that Woody Allen's father carries around in the film "Love and Death."
Its four oldest trees - in fact, the four oldest pine trees in Greenland, named Rosenvinge's trees after the Dutch botanist who planted them in a mad experiment in 1893 - are waking up. After lapsing into stately, sleepy old age, they are exhibiting new sprinklings of green at their tops, as if someone had glued on fresh needles.

It sounds like Greenland is moving back towards temps that were there 1000 years ago. So maybe a long period of global cooling is coming to and end.
That’s why i think global warming is great.
The only known cure to glowbull warming, is for the enviros to stand on their heads underwater. Works instantly every time!
Three cheers for global warming! As a tremendous amount of the world’s landmass is in the far north, warming should be a boon to mankind and nature alike.
At this rate, even the Vikings might come back to Greenland. Is that why they are afraid of "Global Warming"? White people swarming "pristine" environmental areas?
“even the Vikings might come back”
It could be worse, the Rams are so bad this year I have to find another team to root for.
I think they will. The Eagles are playing horribly.
Yeah...but the cold up there keeps the riffraff out...it will be a trade off when it warms up. ;)
I want one of those SUV’s from a 1000 years ago! :-)
Ping
The SUV of a 1000 years ago was pulled by 4 oxen each putting out more “green house gasses” than todays SUV.
Global warming does not exist. The wackjobs on the left are nothing more than useful idiots and their leaders are old hacks trying to become relavant.
Glad to hear that the climate is finally getting back to normal.
> A strange thing is happening ...
Only strange to professional delusionals who neglected
to notice the name of the place.

I think they will. The Eagles are playing horribly.
The Redskins will throw some thrill into the mix.
I remember all the globull warming crying last year when the east coast was getting record cold and snow in places that they hadn’t since the 1970s, and the Antarctic ice sheet is shown to be getting thicker (the part breaking off is the horn jutting out at the northernmost point, El Nino is causing that).
Gotta love global temperature re-balancing.
