One of the great pleasures of autumn is its colorful aesthetics. The phenomenon in which normally green leaves transition into shades of red, orange, yellow and eventually brown is known officially as "leaf phenology," which some people eagerly anticipate each year. But like many ways in which climate change is radically altering our weather patterns — from blistering heat waves to sea level-induced floods — autumn itself is changing.
According to a study published earlier this year in the journal PLOS One, the season length is growing, meaning that it is taking longer for leaves to change their colors. And this is not the only way in which climate change is messing with the season so many of us love.
"It's trees are holding onto their leaves longer," explained Dr. Howard Diamond, senior climate scientist at NOAA's Air Resources Laboratory, when speaking to Salon. "I can see that in my own neighborhood, where I can remember 20 years ago the leaves would drop a lot sooner than they do now. That's more anecdotal, but it is backed up by research that we're seeing."

Stupid is as stupid does.
Fidiots!
Well, thanks to leftist rags like Salon there will always be writing ‘jobs’ for easily deluded pinheads.
..... Here's a question ..... Are the Leaves actually taking longer to change their colors ..... Or are the seasonal months shifting???
.
“It’s trees are holding onto their leaves longer,”...
Maybe the trees were holding onto their leaves for too short a time, before? And they’re “normalizing”, now.
Only Mother Nature knows, for sure. Not you idiots at some bullshit TSU publication.
Wow. He goes back all of twenty years. I’ll offer my own anecdotal evidence of three times that, and it seems that fall, and the colors, are about the same. There were some pretty spectacular colors around here this year.
If you’re gonna post propaganda bullshit, at least give us your opinion on it in a reply and don’t let it hang out there on its own.
Wait, that title contradicts itself in just 10 words.
Amazing that these idiots actually believe in man made climate change.
Sea levels rose 10 metres above present levels during Earth’s last warm period 125,000 years ago according to geologist.... Not sure Greta or anyone was around them bitching about man made climate change. Not to mention, the last Glacial Period of the Quaternary ended approximately 11,700 years ago.
The earth will have many more climate changes over its next 4 billion years long after mankind is gone.
ROT.!! The length of daylight in a day hasn't changed one bit because of climate change..
Only because people buy from their advertisers.
Bunch of liars.
Agree.
Looks the same , maybe the Climate Cult morons should go outside and stop hiding in the basement
None of these alarmist prop pieces offer any temps.
Yeah sure. My fall leaves here in PA looked about the same as always.
“Amazing that these idiots actually believe in man made climate change.”
Create a “problem” and tell people it’s very dangerous. Promote fear of disaster than can only be stopped through taking away people’s rights and restricting their movements. The panicked populace will voluntarily give up their rights to be “saved”.
How can “sea level induced floods” affect areas that are not next to the ocean?
