The rising oceans

I was reading an article in the NY Times website about how global warming could melt the ice caps in Greenland, and how that could actually benefit Greenland in the short run. The fishermen are seeing the appearance of warm water cod, and the farmers are beginning to grow broccoli and potatoes, all things that were unattainable up until recently. When the ice continues to melt, more of the island’s mineral resources will be easier to get to, so mining will increase.

    I was reading that there are some islands that have had to be completely evacuated because the ocean level has risen so high that the islands are no longer inhabitable!
