We're having unseasonably warm days in England. It's been in the top teens celsius at least.
Blossom is appearing while the snowdrops are only just fading. The birds are very excited. People are walking around in t-shirts.
It will not last. Rain and lower temperatures are promised for tomorrow and no matter what the cause, what type of climate change we're experiencing, it is still Northern Hemisphere winter and this time last year it was snowing.
Humanity can adjust if and when it goes back to "normal". We'll have a grumble, expound our theories about climate change, put on a jumper and wait for real spring. But the other creatures and life forms that aren't able to chat about it, or use technologies to protect them from cold are likely to have a shock. And this will likely have consequences for us later in the year and so it goes on.
The climate weirdness isn't growing linearly, but it is growing and feeding back on itself and that's a recipe for change, potentially sudden, chaotic and unpredictable.
And we thought Brexit was the worst of our troubles.
Tell you what mate, I have been out to garden centre today, then I spent about 4 hours in the garden cleaning up from winter, but your right we are still in it at the minute. and spring doesn't start till 21 of march, so it is a little crazy that I am in a t-shirt and shorts and raking.
maybe it won't get that bad for nature, I know it's going to drop in temperature but we have been known to have snow in late april, so maybe we the animals will get away with it.
I hope they do anyway,
