Because we've learned about climate change, we tend to see every variation as alarming. Some indeed are, and this may be one of them, as one indicator of climate change is a long term change in the timing of species birth/growth/development cycles. But it is also true that animal species (and plant species) have natural periods of growth and even excess, that are followed by years of population crash, and then population rebuilding. I recommend to you an interesting (and disturbing at times) book "Early Spring: An Ecologist and Her Children Wake to a Warming World" by Amy Seidl.sgreerpitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07764262558160301061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5091316613928276649.post-9999731165636454122009-07-01T06:19:59.113-04:002009-07-01T06:19:59.113-04:00Climate change is frightening.
