The Lighter Side of Global Warming

Did you know that farmers in Greenland now have more grassland for their reindeers to graze on? That for every 1.8 degrees of warming Canada's wine growing region extends 120 miles north? Or that farmers in the Andes can now cultivate crops all the up to 15,000 feet, a one 1,000 foot increase in the last decade?

Well if you read yesterday's Wall Street Journal you do! I think one of my favorite parts of the article is "In former Vice President Al Gore's recent film 'An Inconvenient Truth,' the melting of Greenland's ice cap, along with a similar cap in the Antarctic, is portrayed as one of the greatest threats of global warming." But the next paragraph "But to many of the people who live here in Greenland, the warmng trend is a boon, not a threat."

A boon? Now these people in Greenland understand that New York City, Boston, Washington D.C., huge chunks of California, the Gulf coast, and all of Florida, will be UNDER WATER! And that's just here in the US, there aren't enough Dutch boys in the world to help Europe, Asia, Africa, etc. with their flooding. Really, how good could Canadian wine actually be? My guess is no where near good enough to take our minds off the hell our world would likely become. I know where I'm going to kill my food though, ummmm reindeer.

However, using the WSJ's reasoning, I have headline for them should another apocalypse confront us..."Giant Comet Heading Towards Earth - Good News for High School Virgins"
