Walk the Line

There has been an interesting study that ties in with effects of global warming on our tiny little rock. As Franti put it, "The seasons don't ever come on time no more..."  European scientists have examined 571 species and have shown that spring comes 6 to 8 days earlier on average.  These changes could have effects on the ecosystem.  FTA:

"For example, caterpillars feed on oak trees, and birds feed on the caterpillars. Unless these species remain synchronised, there could be problems for any one or more of those elements of the food web."

Obviously our planet is an ever-changing animal, but these changes are happening at unprecedented rates.  Get ready for a warmer future.  In a few years we could be talking about a booming Canadian real estate market.
