Global warming hastens spring’s arrival - Science- msnbc.com

Global warming hastens arrival of springtime. Effect of seasonal timing changes on plants and animals and this worries biologists.

The checkerspot butterfly disappeared from Stanford's Jasper Ridge preserve because shifts in rainfall patterns changed the timing of plants on which it develops.

The changes could push some species to extinction. That's because certain plants and animals are dependent on each other for food and shelter. If the plants bloom or bear fruit before animals return or surface from hibernation, the critters could starve. Also, plants that bud too early can still be whacked by a late freeze.
