Some Global Warming Symmetry

Last month, I linked to an article which reported that an inhabited island off of India is now underwater thanks to rising oceans. Well, it looks like global warming is giving us some new islands in return:

There's a newly discovered piece of land in Greenland, according to The New York Times. It's one of the new islands being found around the Arctic as shoreline glaciers melt away. This new island in Greenland was first noticed in 2005. Old maps show it as part of an ice-covered peninsula. No longer.

Cartographers can't keep up. Several new islands in Greenland have been recently uncovered, literally. And there's at least one new island in Norway's Svalbard archipelago. * * *

Of course, the lunatics who claim that global warming is a good thing will find some way to use this news to their advantage. But they better hurry up, because I have no doubt that rising oceans will eventually submerge these "new" islands.
