Greenland sees bright side of warming
By James Painter
BBC News, southern Greenland
Top scientist Professor Minik Rosing was stunned to hear the news from his
native Greenland a few days ago.
The main weekly newspaper, Sermitsiaq, was highlighting a quarrel between
shop owners and farmers about the price of potatoes.
"The price of potatoes was a headline," says Professor Rosing. "That would
have been a hilarious joke in Greenland a few years ago."
Professor Rosing is one of his country's most famous sons, after
discovering the earliest traces of life in rocks in West Greenland, that
are more than 3,800 million years old. Like his fellow countrymen, he is
deeply concerned about global warming, and particularly the effects of
rapidly melting ice on the traditional life of hunters in the north of the
country.
