bostonangler Posted March 5, 2020 Report Share Posted March 5, 2020 Across much of the United States, a warming climate has advanced the arrival of spring. This year is no exception. In parts of the Southeast, spring has arrived weeks earlier than normal and may turn out to be the warmest spring on record. Apple blossoms in March and an earlier start to picnic season may seem harmless and even welcome. But the early arrival of springtime warmth has many downsides for the natural world and for humans. Rising temperatures in the springtime signal plants and animals to come alive. Across the United States and worldwide, climate change is steadily disrupting the arrival and interactions of leaf buds, cherry blossoms, insects and more. In my work as a plant ecologist and director of the USA National Phenology Network, I coordinate efforts to track the timing of seasonal events in plants and animals. Dramatically earlier spring activity has been documented in hundreds of species around the globe. Lilies, blueberries, birds and more … all sped up https://www.yahoo.com/news/bad-global-warming-news-spring-121000970.html No doubt we have smashed so many records and I have stuff blooming way early this year... Feels great, but we are gonna have a lot of bugs this year. B/A 1 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nstoolman1 Posted March 5, 2020 Report Share Posted March 5, 2020 Blame Phil. If spring was six weeks later then everyone would be screaming global cooling. It is call the cycle of seasons. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Droughts in California Throughout history, California has experienced many droughts, such as 1841, 1864, 1924, 1928–1935, 1947–1950, 1959–1960, 1976–1977, 2006–2010, and 2011–2017. As the most populous state in the United States and a major agricultural producer, drought in California can have a severe economic as well as environmental impact. Drought may be due solely to, or found in combination with, weather conditions; economic or political actions; or population and farming. California drought: Past dry periods have lasted more than 200 years, scientists say Every 200 Years, California Endures a Flood of Epic Proportions I don't have time to go state by state or get over to Italy - I'd say do your own research and check it out.....
