Spring in DECEMBER?! Tulips Coming Up Early

If you have any doubts about global warming then just take a look at what’s going on around you outside. If, like me, you live in the northern hemisphere of earth, you know we are now officially in WINTER. The winter solstice was December 21st this year. So we can no longer say it’s still warm because it’s Autumn, or not even winter yet, or whatever excuse people have been using this year to explain how warm it is still is. Oh, we’ve had snow briefly, once in November and again a few weeks ago, but both melted quickly and it soon warmed up again.

I was out and about in my yard yesterday, glanced at the side boxes and did a double-take because WTF!! my tulips have started growing. Oh. My. God. My tulips have been triggered to grow because it’s so warm outside. The temperature signals it’s Spring. And then they’re all going to die when it actually freezes in January. This is maddening and disturbing.
