FACT OF THE DAY:
Scientists believe global warming could affect autumn colors. As the world warms, leaves may delay changing their colors. Additionally, trees may not use their sugars to create red pigments; rather, they might send that fuel to growing new twigs. Global warming may also alter the habitats of trees, such as the sugar maple, which creates some of the most vibrant fall colors.
@TheNewsOwl this is true. I live near the Cherokee National Forest and the peak season is 2 weeks later than it was 20yrs ago
dammit. We're going to ruin everything if we don't wise up. ๐
@TheNewsOwl I thought last autumn looked dreary, and the leaves aren't showing much color now.
@TheNewsOwl sugar maples in NH are already under stress from climate change
