Researchers with the Rutgers Environmental and Occupational Health Sciences Institute have simulated how climate change will affect the distribution of two leading allergens – oak and ragweed pollens – across the contiguous United States. The results, published in the journal Frontiers in Allergy, may make your eyes water.
Using computer models, the team, led by Panos Georgopoulos, a professor of Environmental and Occupational Health and Justice at the Rutgers School of Public Health, found that by 2050 climate change significantly will increase airborne pollen loads, with some of the largest surges occurring in areas where pollen is historically uncommon.
“Pollen is an excellent sentinel for the impacts of climate change because shifts in variables like carbon dioxide and temperature affect the way plants behave,” said Georgopoulos, who also is director of the Computational Chemodynamics Laboratory at Rutgers.
Previous efforts to connect pollen indices with climate change have been limited by a scarcity of data. For instance, there are about 80 pollen sampling stations in the U.S., operated by a variety of private and public agencies using different sampling methods.
To overcome this challenge, the researchers adapted the Community Multiscale Air Quality modeling system, an open-source tool managed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to simulate distributions of allergenic oak and ragweed pollen for historical (2004) and future (2047) conditions.
The pollen research was part of an ongoing project by the Rutgers Ozone Research Center, which is funded by the EPA and New Jersey to study how climate change will influence air quality in the state.

Itchy scalp? It could be Climate Change. Smelly feet? It could be Climate Change. Loose stools? It could be Climate Change. Blurred vision? It could be Climate Change. Anger issues? It most definitely is Climate Change.
I think it’s just that I’m allergic to leftist BS...
Even worse than that; climate change actually causes hemorrhoids. Just look at hot countries like Mexico, where they prepare all that hot food because of the high temperatures. As climate change creeps north, we will all be eating hotter food with more ferocious spices, meaning we will have desperate bathroom events that eventually lead to horrible hemorrhoids.
Could be poison from contrails too.
Models programmed by people. In the 70’s I wrote a blackjack game and invited my coworkers to wager quarters on it. About 20.00 into it, ( the average loss of each of the 5 players) I returned their money to them. It was programmed to let them win sometimes, but it won 2/3rds of the time. and always with a 20 or 19 so it wouldn’t be so obvious. And after a loss, one of them would get a 21 or blackjack on the next hand, so they would keep playing. Computers just follow orders, it didn’t know it was cheating.
Which came first Trump or man-made Climate change?
These fraudsters don't even have the decency to be embarrassed about changing the name from "Global Warming" to "Climate Change"......
🙋🙋Climate change?? 😵😵😆😆
its RACISM ,silly 😆😆
The computer would get a 21 to tie the hand and keep the bet on the table part of the time. That’s how it would keep the 2/3rds winning going. I also did a guessing game where you tried to guess the computers number. When you entered your number guess from 1 to 5, it would always say No correct and print out a different number as it’s number. One fellow worker sat there for an hour trying to beat it.
LOL!!!
Morons...
I now use my veterinarian for medical advice and my cat for weather advice. Life has improved greatly since doing so.
“Racism” does everything “climate change” can’t. But rest assured, all the problems of the world have at least one of these two issues as its root cause.
Controversial thesis presents obvious conclusion. Mask up.
These are the science deniers. The science shows the colder the colder front the deeper it digs south bringing up warm moist air with (obviously) more allergens. Unless it’s an Alverta clipper or the like-—but that only happens a few times per year.
I’m so sick of these freaking liars-—It’s funny, how people buy into these lies so easily. But if they were lied to on a used car lot they’d pick it up immediately. Why? Because it’s their money!
Yeah!
I’m allergic to climate jockeys!!!!
Our Overlords already have an MRNA vaccine for this. Only, instead of putting something in our bodies, their plan is called Money Removal Now Aggression.
Yes, your awesome money will fight the mean old Climate Change whether you want it to or not.
We’re saved.
Peach
Wax buildup in your ears and dandruff definitely caused by climate change
***Itchy Eyes and a Runny Nose? It Could Be Climate Change***
Why not? Everything else in the world is being blamed on “climate change”.
“Computer models” can be rigged to say anything you want them to say.
Pure unadulterated crap.
