Much of the snow has melted at the southern tip of Greenland, and the tomato plant is now ready for harvest at the local greenhouse.
Disrupting the Borg is expensive and time consuming!

Way past time for that! I went there first in the late 60s and the last time there was in 2005 before I retired and moved East. The changes over the years were obvious!

This is what Greenland climate change denial sounded like in 1910:
“HAS THE EARTH’S CLIMATE CHANGED? – INTERESTING FACTS.
“For many years it was asserted that the east coast of Greenland had formerly enjoyed a mild climate, which favoured the growth of vegetation and gave rise to the name Greenland. The historical researches of Rink and Von Maurer however have proved that the decay of the posts established by the Norwegians in olden times was caused by the introduction of a contagious disease and by the adoption, by the Norwegian Government of an unwise econonic policy which provoked hostile attacks by the Eskimos. Equally erroneous statements have been made in regard to Iceland.”
