Cool website. I am also a skeptical optimist. Right now enjoying the benefits of a global warming trend that has been occurring for since about 1850 A.D., the end of the Little Ice Age (which occurred 1550 A.D. ~ 1850 A.D.), right after the Medieval Warm period (800 A.D. ~ 1300 A.D.).

All dates approximate, of course.

Some people cry over lemons, some people make lemonade and lemon marmalade and lemon curd.

Example of the latter ~ French wine makers buying farm land in the south of England, optimistically anticipating that the warming trend will continue and they will be able to grow wine grapes there, just as was done during the Medieval Warm.

And perhaps the Danes will build summer homes in Greenland again.
