How will gobal climate change affect Estonia?

The likely overall impact on Estonia of global warming is a bit more nuanced than I suggested in my previous post.

In an interview with the Estonian Free Press, Jaan Saar, Director General of the Estonian Meteorological and Hydrological Institute, listed a few of the most likely positive impacts on Estonia of global climate change: a longer growing season, and the opportunity to grow a wider variety of crops.

But according to Dr. Saar, these benefits would come at a high cost:

“Our forest experts, however, are more worried as warm and wet weather will cause proliferation of forest pests. If model calculations prove to be true, the number of stormy days will increase, and heavy rain falls and spring droughts will occur more frequently ….”

  1. It has been discovered (by the Russians no less) that the entire Global Warming issue is a hoax. Those “stolen” e-mails tell you everything you need to know about the tricks that so called scientists use to force their agenda. For every scientist that says Global Warming is a fact, there are 20 who say different. Until we get to the truth about all of this, NOTHING should change other than we all do the best we can in our own small way to be good environmental stewards. Anyone brazen enough to think that mankind can ruin the earth in any meaningful way, thinks much too highly of mankind.
