Thirty years ago you'd be hard-pressed to see a cherry blossom, a robin, or a maniacal sneezing fit this time of year. We get these treats a little early nowadays according to many climate scientists, but that's not really a good thing. In this case the smell of roses might be worrisome.
Pollen is bursting. Critters are stirring. Buds are swelling. Biologists are worrying.
"The alarm clock that all the plants and animals are listening to is running too fast," Stanford University biologist Terry Root said.
Blame global warming.
The fingerprints of man-made climate change are evident in seasonal timing changes for thousands of species on Earth, according to dozens of studies and last year's authoritative report by the Nobel Prize-winning international climate scientists. More than 30 scientists told The Associated Press how global warming is affecting plants and animals at springtime across the country, in nearly every state.
