, the effect of greenhouse gases began to dominate and warming resumed. Scientists project the current warming trend will continue for decades.
Many gardeners are preparing for a future where springs keep arriving earlier and temperatures continue climbing higher. The U.S. Botanic Garden in D.C. cultivates some plants suited to warmer climates. Cut leaf smooth sumacs and desert willows planted against a south-facing wall were barely hanging on 15 years ago, but they are established and growing comfortably now, executive director Susan Pell told me.
In the shorter term, the gardeners I spoke to said they were less troubled by the prospect of gradually earlier springs than by the season’s increasing irregularity. “People say ‘global warming.’ What I’m finding is it’s not just the warming, it’s the fluctuation,” Burke, of the American Horticultural Society, said.
John Shearin, who tends the Asian gardens at the U.S. National Arboretum, agreed that “things are getting more erratic overall.” After 15 years as a horticulturalist, Shearin has learned to expect the unexpected. “As a gardener,” he said, “you’re always ready to roll with whatever nature throws at you.”

El Niño is coming.
According to the scientific-minded DNC journalists, it is a definitive proof that climate change is real.
Early by what metric? Earlier than what we've seen over the last 30 years? 30 years is quicker than a blink of an eye in terms of the earth and weather. You can't form a weather pattern without zooming out at LEAST a few centuries.
It’s too frightening to think about. Lemme’ think it over.
Also, osprey returned a few days early on the Rappahannock.
Oh no the weather changed in springtime. Better pay more taxes.
Climate change IS natural variation.
Mother Nature doing her thing…….
And now a week (or longer) of hard freezes and bitter cold mornings is killing the new spring growth in Kentucky.
ClimateCrisis 'Yet global warming has tipped the scales in favor of earlier springs, Schwartz said. In the contiguous United States, the leaves’ average arrival date tracks closely with the average temperature at the start of each year.'
Hate When They Change Climate And Clocks Not All Countries Have Leafs Look at California Still Flooding. 🙏Lets pray for California
People need to understand the difference between signal and noise. Isolated weather events are not climate change
Climate propaganda - gotta love it!
Climate change is natural
