Conspiracy theory in the frozen North
In Finland, the warmest winter on record is leading to predictions for a record grain harvest. Yay for global warming! See, adaptation can be fun. There’s never been a better time to invest in beach front property in Siberia.
However, Agriculture Ministry researcher Anneli Partala warns: “It is not certain whether the warm winter is good or bad … there may be mold problems or diseases.”
Or, as in the case of the Alaskan town of Kivalina, rising sea levels could force your complete relocation, to the tune of $400,000,000. Adaptation — extremely costly and painful!
