Today's climate change spotlight #2: Cattle in Greenland
http://nunatsiaq.com/news/climate/60908_03.html

Thanks to global warming, it’s possible to raise cattle in Greenland for the first time in hundreds of years.

Only 19 cows currently graze on the island, and each of them has a name.

But their numbers could multiply as the climate warms.

... If the island’s growing season, which now starts in May, begins just two weeks earlier, farmers could even grow apples and strawberries, Der Spiegel noted.

1. And for the past 25 years
and for another 175 years before us there have been cattle or buffalo on our land here in South Texas, but as of August we had to sell the rest of our cattle because it has not rained here in 19 months. Welcome to * brush * country.
