If you're sniffling and sneezing a lot more lately, you're hardly alone. Climate change is making seasonal allergies worse, an expert says.
"With the combination of increased temperature and carbon dioxide, we are seeing a dramatic change, and allergy sufferers can probably feel that change," said Dr. Richard Weber, president of the American College of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology.
"We are experiencing longer allergy seasons, earlier onset and there is just more pollen in the air," said Weber, who's also an allergist at National Jewish Health in Denver.
About 40 million Americans have seasonal allergies -- also known as hay fever -- and they will have to cope with earlier and longer allergy seasons, Weber said.
"A year ago, we saw pollen counts of certain trees that were about three times higher than what we normally would see in years past," he said in a hospital news release. "It was awful. Plants that ordinarily were pollinating in April, by the beginning of March, they were going gangbusters."

Whatever it takes to make people angry about Climate Change...
Climate change.
Is there anything it cannot do?

Last year my seasonal allergies started in mid April. This year it started 1st week of May and so far not real bad. When June rolls around its usually done - flux from year to year but not too much. Climate has some fluctuations no matter what humans contribute via pollution. I believe there are regional climate changes at times from mankind like air smog however global climate changes are more effected by global wind patterns and solar activity of which puny mankind has no influence in them.
Yes, yes, everything causes climate change and climate change causes everything. It’s the perfect circular logic.

As far as I’m concerned he should keep his kiddies out of policy decisions.
Liberals ridicule Christians for believing in the Diety and Creation.
They say those beliefs are founded solely on faith with no proof.
But they do believe in Chicken Little and The Goracle.
The sky is falling and we are destroying the planet.
Yet those beliefs are founded solely on faith with no proof.
Couldn’t have anything to do with all the flowering and non-native trees being planted by landscapers in concentrated population areas because they look pretty, could it?

A lot, more than the last few.
Ok, right on it!
