Nothing to sneeze at: Global warming triggers earlier pollen
Just look at cherry blossoms opening several days earlier in Japan and Washington, D.C., he said. 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.
Can you fathom no St. Patrickโs Day celebrations at pubs in Ireland?
A St. Patrickโs Day in Ireland without celebrations at local pubs? Yes, it is true, and just the latest example of how serious the coronavirus pandemic has become. The Irish government sent a release Sunday asking all pubs be closed from Sunday night until March 29 to help quell the spread of the coronavirus. St. Patrickโs Day celebrations surely will be affected around the world, and itโs hard to imagine you canโt even go to a pub in the heart of Ireland anymore to celebrate St. Patrickโs Day. But that once again emphasizes the seriousness of the pandemic and the sacrifices so many are making.
