"Human-caused climate change.... whether man-made or part of a normal cycle"
Incredible, aren't they?
"Study says warming behind plants' move" by Alicia Chang, Associated Press | August 12, 2008
LOS ANGELES - Striking new research in the Southern California mountains suggests recent warming is behind a massive die-off and rapid migration to higher ground by nine different plants, from desert shrubs to white firs.
Within 30 years, most had moved to elevations 200 feet above their previous growth range. The findings provide a glimpse of what could happen to the world's vegetation as the Earth faces global warming.
Scientists have long warned that human-caused climate change threatens to turn plants into refugees as they migrate to higher, cooler spots to survive. The latest study is the first to physically measure changes in plants' locations in connection with regional warming, whether man-made or part of a normal cycle, over the past three decades.
However, at least one specialist suggested that prolonged drought, not climate change, could be the cause of the die-off and migration.
And we don't get to hear from him in the agenda-pushing AmeriKan MSM!!!!
(Sigh)!
