Wow, now that's what I call a post. Most valuable post I've read in a long time.

Puts Greenland in perspective.

The maps...wonderful. Show with great clarity the relationship of the land masses to each other. Or what will be accessible land masses if the warming continues.

Makes me think of Poland. Poor Poland, in the middle of Europe with powerful neighbors. That country was doomed to be invaded, divided and exploited.

I'm going to share this with people I know off Hive, and hope they share it with people they know.
