Climafe change alerting the life of our plants and with that, ours too

Reuters reports that scientists are finding that plants are flowering much earlier because of climate change.

That change, Reuters reports in a story headed: “Plant study flags dangers of warming world” will have a “knock-on” effect for food chains and eco systems.

Global warming is having a significant impact on hundreds of plant and animal species around the world, changing some breeding, migration and feeding patterns, scientists say.

Increased carbon dioxide concentration in the atmosphere from burning fossil fuels can affect how plants produce oxygen, while higher temperatures and variable rainfall patterns can change their behaviour.

"Predicting species' response to climate change is a major challenge in ecology," said researchers at the University of California San Diego and several other U.S. institutions, according to Reuters.
