| Description | Climate change is happening now, scientists are telling us.
Presented here are five instances where studies have documented the changes being wrought in Wisconsin by the warming planet.
These are scientific, often peer-reviewed studies, of the birds that trill in our backyards, the lake ice upon which we plop our ice-fishing buckets, the aspen trees that grace our parks.
While some may still debate global warming, scientists pondering the data say without a doubt that climate change is already upon us, that it has been happening for some time, and that it is altering the landscape and changing life's intricate mechanisms.
In fact, Don Waller, a UW-Madison botanist, is convinced that the stories being told us by science are the very earliest and subtle chapters of a work that will eventually describe a profoundly altered world.
"There is more going on," Waller said, "than we have even the slightest inkling of right now." |
