A remarkable series of 3 photographs, each taken a year apart,
graphically demonstrate the increased melting of the Greenland ice
cap.

On to every global warmer a little sun must shine. Wouldn't it be
terrible to find that this has been going on for decades but NASA # up
the data again. Anyone found something similar about the Sahel?


Yes, all the ice in the Sahel has melted too!

So with the new potential for farmland in the region, what moves are
afoot to spoil the ecosystem the normal way?


Haven't you noticed, the UK farming industry is being closed down. It
is cheaper to buy GM grain from the US, because they can produce it
more efficiently with their greater mechanisation and irrigation
schemes powered through lower fuel prices.

Of course this ignores the fact that GW has already brought drought
to the mid-west, and soon Britain will be one of the few parts of the
world where agriculture is feasible!

Cheers, Alastair.
