Not unheard of before but now it's claimed to be caused by climate change.

What a bunch of idiots. It has been much cooler this year than last year. Even the local news pointed out earlier this month that at the same time last year we had 14 days over 100 than this year the same time. A significant difference in “warming” and comfort, as anything below 100 out here is wonderful.

...experts suspect it may be an example of how the warming environment is impacting even the oldest of plants.

There's that wiggle-room word, may, again.

This one of those cases were favorable changes in climate are working for a plant rather than the wishes of the woke humans.
I do wish the concept of climate change was not such a divisive term but greed and ego trump good science and policy.

It’s clear proof that the end is near. What is it, 8 years away now?

I noticed this this spring, in a retirement community where there are lots of saguaro cacti.

I presumed the cacti had been getting plenty of water and the conditions were just right...

That's a sure sign that the earth is warming due to man producing a green house effect. Let me explain. The dessert floor is getting so hot that the bobcat needs to find a perch where he can cool his paws. All these green house gases causing the extreme heat on the dessert floor are the result of Trump policies. After we get rid of all fossil fuel motors, turbines etc. the earth will revert back to temperatures that have remained absolutely constant for thousands of years!! --- sarc!!

Exactly.

Or maybe it is COOLING which is allowing for blooms.

Idiot leftists- they pulled that Ice Age BS when I was a little girl, scaring me to death when we got a snowstorm.

Not too long ago, those brainwashed kids were storming everywhere demanding something be done about climate change because we are all going to die in 10 years.

During Dessert Shield/Storm/Clean up there were 100 or 500 year rainstorms, 8+ hour rains, that wracked the peninsula. The dessert exploded with flora and the deep dessert regions looked as green as Ireland in the spring. It was weird to see the confused camels standing in grass as far as you could see.

I haven’t thought very much about this as I try not to think of oxygen consumers on the left. But as I do consider your point it is virtually 100% spot-on.

Soon the range of the saguaro cactus will encompass all of North America!
