Nothing to sneeze at: Global warming triggers earlier pollen

The South and southern Midwest are getting pollen season about 1.3 days earlier each year, while itโs coming about 1.1 days earlier in the West, he said. The northern Midwest is getting allergy season about 0.65 days earlier per year, and itโs coming 0.33 days earlier a year in the Southeast. Since 1990, about half of the earlier pollen season can be attributed to climate change โ mostly from the warmer temperatures โ but also from the plant-feeding carbon dioxide, Anderegg said. But since the 2000s, about 65% of earlier pollen seasons can be blamed on warming, he said.

GOP governors in spiking states strain for silver linings
Read full article: GOP governors in spiking states strain for silver liningsBut that's not the message coming from a number of Republican governors in the region, who are working to find silver linings in the ominous health data as outbreaks surge in their states. North Dakota's governor has called his state's test positivity rate an achievement, even though its rate of new cases tops the nation. Kim Reynolds, however, has defended the state's decision to reopen bars and send students back into classrooms without masks required. Some governors are even pushing back against Trump's own advisers for giving blunter assessments of their states' situations. Hutchinson has continued resisting calls to roll back some of the state's reopening, saying he's relying more on personal responsibility.
