The problem is, the hastened arrival of spring is coming at different times for different plants and animals, adapting at different rates.

And, it’s not just other critters. People are suffering longer allergy seasons. Pollens, on average, are being first produced about 20 hours earlier each year in middle latitudes of the United States.

Unless your name is George W. Bush, even that relatively minor inconvenience is nothing to sneeze at.
