Plants are telling us that global warming is real. They are voting "yes" with their 'feet' by climbing up hill, literally. * Mature plants are not mobile. They are anchored by their root systems in the soil. Their seeds are little travelers, and the successful germination of seeds will decide the direction of future generations of the species. Seeds that land higher tend to germinate more successfully than seeds that land lower, or in warmer climbs. * Scientists have noted an eighty seven foot climb per decade. The short-lived plants tend to travel up faster than the long-lived. None-the-less, every plant moves, evolves, or perishes. * http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/7477279.stm * The cause of global warming? I don't think it's 100% man caused. I don't even think it is 30% man caused. I think the Earth and the sun goes through cycles, then there is the inconvenient fact that there is warming going on with our planetary neighbors. There isn't an SUV to be found on Neptune, and there's only a few solar powered rovers on Mars. One large volcano can play hob with Earth's climate. We have several going bonkers now. We don't even know where all of them are.

It tells people we need to get with the program and adapt to the change if we don't want to end up like the dinosaurs. Fighting endless wars for fossil fuels is not the way to do that. Figuring how to house ourselves, maintain our water and food supplies in a new environment is. Earth won't listen to us. We better listen to her.
