It seems like my wife looses flowers in the same spot in the garden every Dad-Gum year! (/s)

Scientists fear that many of the plants blooming out of season will fail to pollinate.
Well, if they don't pollinate this year, there's always next year.......
OK, so I'm not a scientist but I did get to bed early last night........

How did they ever get through the Medieval Warm Period, when it was even warmer than it is now?

I am really forced to think that these scientists are lying or totally misrepresenting or misunderstanding their findings. I have not noticed any examples of plants blooming two-six months out of sequence, nor do I see how an average change in temperature of less than one degree in the last century can have caused the changes they are claiming. If the average spring temp in England rises from - say - 43 degrees to 44 degrees, how will that cause the changes they are claiming to see? Sometimes a very mild winter/spring will cause plants to bloom 3-4 weeks early, but not 3-6 months. Cold is far more dangerous to the survival of plants than warmth.

"global cooling"
I think this is why the global-warming fanatics have been coming out with more extreme rhetoric and gloomier forecasts - they know the jig is up, the climate is already on the cusp of a cooling stage, and they want to rush their agenda through before the public realizes it.

"I have not noticed any examples of plants blooming two-six months out of sequence,"I have definitely noticed that the days are getting shorter.

Some varieties are blossoming six months ahead of time...How do they know they're early? They could be six months late, meaning we need more Global Warming to get them to bloom earlier.

"I think this is why the global-warming fanatics have been coming out with more extreme rhetoric and gloomier forecasts "Correcto!! Global warming is out. Those who would control language and thus minds now refer to "climate change".

You’re right. I have heard the term “climate change” more lately than glowball warning. Climate change is more generic and more open to interpretation. And, of course, climate change happens every season. A century from now carbon emissions will doubtless be blamed for summer slowly changing to winter. Lets face it, there is nothing climate change can’t do!
