“We have knocked this essential cycle off balance. Plants and climate are inextricably linked. The biggest draw down of CO2 from our atmosphere is photosynthesizing organisms,” Lloyd points out.

“It’s a big knob on the composition of the atmosphere, so that means small changes have a large impact.”

I have been seeing lots of anecdotal and definitive evidence of both flora and fauna showing signs of confusion. Plants flowering 'earlier' than they used to and some completely changing their pollination regimes due to a decline of insect pollinators.

Geese in Canada migrating earlier than ever before.

Change is in the wind, and there is nothing good about it.
