UOCS - Man made global warming causing earlier and longer spring, summer

The Union of Concerned Scientists published a paper today discussing the 40 year trend of earlier and longer springs and summers and the correlation to man made climate change.    Definately a recommended read.

Signs of spring are beginning to emerge in many parts of the United States. After months of darkness, it's a welcome sight. But did you know that spring arrives distinctly earlier than it did 40 years ago?

Tree budding, the hatching of animal species, earlier blooms, and other traits of spring show up about 10 days sooner, researchers have long reported. What's more, the earlier onset of spring has been directly linked to human-induced climate change.
