They never got this excited over Kudzu.......................

From the article....

In North American forests, invasive vines such as kudzu, oriental bittersweet, English ivy and Japanese honeysuckle often reduce native tree regeneration and survival, although there is no obvious trend as there is in the American tropics. In contrast, two studies of forests in tropical Africa did not detect vine overgrowth.

Looks to me like this isn't a global climate issue, which is what the story wished to insinuate. Something else is afoot.....

They never got this excited over Kudzu....................... I remember when kudzu was a "southern thing". I live in central Illinois and it creeps up the west side of my house.

Originally a Japanese problem. Wonder how it got here? Probably the same way as pythons in the Everglades.

Yea, that Kudzu is taking over all the beautiful scenery in Tenn. It’s scarey.
