"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. "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 the 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.
While if the predicted 23 foot increase in sea levels takes out parts of cities, I don't think everyone will agree it's beneficial but this does bring an interesting perspective to the discussion of global warming as well as the reality that our world has changed in the past and man has prevailed.

And is likely to prevail once again, whatever actually happens ;-)
