Trees in Antarctica? There goes the neighborhood!

Yes, we could see trees growing in Antarctica within this very century perhaps, according to one climatologist, Stanford Professor Robert Dunbar.

Al Gore would be terrified, I'm sure, to learn that the Earth may actually produce more vegetatian than it does now, because of global warming, not in spite of it. More vegetatian means potentially more food for the world's peoples. Isn't that a good thing?

People suffering from starvation due to drought and pestilince aren't overly concerned that this planet might produce more vegetation. Quite to the contrary, if we can take advantage of this increased vegetation, then we'll only have the small matters of dictatorial tyrrany, civil wars, and ethnic "cleansing" to tackle before every child can go to bed well fed.
