Global Warming Thanksgiving

I was watch­ing An Inconvenient Truth this morn­ing when our nar­ra­tor Al Gore men­tioned some­thing that caught my atten­tion (Well, all of it caught my atten­tion, but this caught it in par­tic­u­lar). Gore men­tioned that global warm­ing can have an effect on when par­tic­u­lar species hatch for the sum­mer. Sometimes, the hatch­ing does not coin­cide with the hatch­ing of other species that feed on them. Consequently, a large num­ber of species are in danger.

I read an arti­cle in the Bozeman Daily Chronicle a few days ago; it was an AP arti­cle, so it’s prob­a­bly still out there some­where. The arti­cle said that school lunch pro­grams were hav­ing a hard time find­ing turkeys for their Thanksgiving din­ners, not because of a short­age of turkeys but because a hot­ter than aver­age sum­mer pro­duced smaller than aver­age turkeys.

Global warm­ing?
