Climate changes creating green and flowering mountains
The mountains of Sweden are more green. In the boundary zone between forest and bare soil, trees that require warm temperatures, such as oak, elm, maple and black birch are installed there first for 8.000 years. This study shows led by Leif Kullman, professor of physical geography at Umea University in Sweden.
Over the past century the temperature has risen by more than one degree. The wave of "cool" that existed for thousands of years no longer exists and that triggers changes in the flora, fauna and landscapes.
"The stark alpine areas are shrinking, and typical Nordic birch forests are losing ground from trees such as spruce and pine, which are more competitive in a warmer and dry climate," says Leif Kullman.
The alpine landscape is generally greener and more attractive. Many mountain plants have produced abundant flowers and large quantities of fruit in recent years.
The alpine flora and biodiversity are developed dramatically. More and more plants migrate into the high mountains since the warmer climate to attract such species Pinus contorta and Pinus cembra, which is endemic to Scandinavia.
The distribution of various plant communities to landscapes of mountains, is in a state of constant change. Specific plants such as mosses and herbs adapted to a short growing season after the snow melts.
As the snow melts more and earlier, these plants have been replaced by scrublands, and thus the slopes of the mountains have a look that reminds steppe.
These changes affect the flora and fauna of the mountain. The observed Kullman new species of butterflies (admirals), and birds (eg trypofrachtes).
"The alpine world presents major changes despite the modest increase in temperature. These forecasts for a rise of three degrees Celsius by 2100 will mean that changes will be more "devastating".
We can expect fewer bare mountain areas, even more lush vegetation and fauna, "explains Leif Kullman.

Vrondero NOT IN OUR COLLECTIVE criminalization ON NATURAL CLIMATE CHANGE!
For the phobic obscurantist supporters of collective culpability for our natural climate changes, such as the much heralded, speculation nompelouchos, radioactive genocidal Balkans and fans everywhere pseftooikologoi of:
Collective incrimination for climatic changes? NO!
The world's oldest science academy, the Royal Society of London, recently has become a vocal advocate of climate alarmism. They even tried to enlist other science academies into joining them in an alarmist manifesto. However, the US National Academy, though sharing some of these views, decided not to sign up, and the Russian Academy of Sciences has taken an opposing position.

OIL To conclude, and the internet before ...!
The phobic archomaneis to delay the total collapse and to distract us from the decentralization and tried conciliatory sufficiency, we put the blame collectively for inability and natural changes in climate and selling luxury "alternative" oligochrones bluffing: BI-century -okafsima, toxic panels, wind turbines very expensive, "harmless" radioactive, etc.
Those friends you want from the hundreds who saw the videos of the collapse of Maya phobic (due to drought after cooling the oceans and less rain, just like TODAY ), and the current outlook, his address to the spread are:

Our future depends mainly on us and not the Scarecrows!
We are grateful to websites hosting such peaceful proposals, which the clergy and the media to suppress criminal, but not eternal!
I hope this post and many others here on the blog to make you a little doubt about natural climate change, natural emissions of CO2, etc. At least let us be optimistic and recognize that the existence of climate change!
