Residents insist Greenland's freezing temperatures don't mean global warming has been called off
While the rest of Europe is debating the prospects of global warming during an unseasonably mild winter, a brutal cold snap is raging across the semi-autonomous nation of Greenland.
On Disko Bay in western Greenland, where a number of prominent world leaders have visited in recent years to get a first-hand impression of climate change, temperatures have dropped so drastically that the water has frozen over for the first time in a decade.
'The ice is up to 50cm thick,' said Henrik Matthiesen, an employee at Denmark's Meteorological Institute who has also sailed the Greenlandic coastline for the Royal Arctic Line. 'We've had loads of northerly winds since Christmas which has made the area miserably
cold.'
Of COURSE the residents don't want to "call off" global warming. The pilgrimages being made to Greenland to "document" climate catastrophe are bringing hordes of revenue to that area...if we stop believing in it, they're going to be the poorer. This is one they're going to milk for all it's worth...
