Climate Change Is Muting Fall Colors, But It’s Just The Latest Way That Humans Have Altered US Forests

Image
Fall foliage season is a calendar highlight in states from Maine south to  Georgia  and west to the  Rocky Mountains . It's especially important in the Northeast, where fall colors attract an  estimated US$8 billion in tourism revenues  to New England every year. See Also:   Dr. Anthony Fauci tells Dana Bash  that US Covid-19 cases are headed in the "right direction," but the US should be careful not to prematurely declare victory. As a  forestry scientist , I'm often asked how climate change is affecting fall foliage displays. What's clearest so far is that color changes are occurring later in the season. And the persistence of very warm, wet weather in 2021 is  reducing color displays in the Northeast and mid-Atlantic .

Takeaway #2

A number of you have written in to say about the hearings, "No,  that  wasn't the big deal. This other thing was the big deal!" In almost every case I find myself agreeing with you. What it comes down to is there was just a huge amount of critical new detail in Hutchinson's testimony. And it was a challenge to evaluate the significance of it all in real time or organize it on a rank of significance. So TPM Reader  KB  notes that all the stuff about a war room at the Willard with Rudy and the top crazies starts appearing in a very, very different light if the plan was that Trump was going to go to the Capitol to in some sense lead the confrontation.
