Thunder? It's the sound of Greenland melting
 
ILULISSAT, Greenland (Reuters) -- Atop Greenland's Suicide Cliff, from where old Inuit women used to hurl themselves when they felt they had become a burden to their community, a crack and a thud like thunder pierce the air.
"We don't have thunder here. But I know it from movies," says Ilulissat nurse Vilhelmina Nathanielsen, who hiked with us through the melting snow. "It's the ice cracking inside the icebergs. If we're lucky we might see one break apart."

I love global warming, and, apparently so do most of the people in Greenland.  Just who is doing all this bitching, anyway?  People should accept Mother Nature for what she is. 

Personally, I think one of the things I'm beginning to appreciate most in my life is living during a period of temperature change. 
 
People started noticing the change in the early seventies. Those of us who have noticed, are still leary of Mother Nature.  Every day could be different, lol.
 
I don't think I'll live long enough to see the Ozarks Mountains become oceanfront property, again. But, this is a great experience in life.
 
And, yes.  All efforts should be made to slow down pollution.
 
Government has to always keep people paranoid.  I feel sorry for that guy with TB.  I think they found something new to jump on and harrassed him for no other purpose than to create new paranoia.  [sorry, digressed there a bit, I guess ]

Better to have people starving and freezing to death??!!  Why can't they just let them enjoy warmth for the next 50 yrs of their lives?

If you're a fisherman in Greenland, however, global warming is doing wonders for your business.

Warmer waters entice seawolf and cod to swim farther north in the Atlantic into Greenlandic nets. In this Disko Bay town, the world's iceberg capital, the harbor is now open year-round because winter is no longer cold enough to freeze it solid.

Warmer weather also boosts tourism, a source of big development hopes for the 56,000 mostly Inuit inhabitants of Greenland, which is a self-governing territory of Denmark.

Hoping to lure American visitors, Air Greenland launched a direct flight from Baltimore last month, and there is even talk of "global warming tourism" to see Warming Island.

One commentator, noting the carbon dioxide emissions such travel would create, has called that "eco-suicide tourism
