Climate change – man made or cyclical

Today in the Metro News there was a story about ducklings being born in a park in London. Not so strange if it wasn’t 2 weeks away from winter!

However what made me think about commenting on this was that today as I was walking through Castle Park I had a bit of extra time and decided to go through my favourite garden. Great view from here and in particular some cherry blossom trees. Low and behold today, although the trees are nearly stripped bare of all their leaves, they have started sprouting cherry blossom flowers. Now tell me, is that bizarre or what!

So, climate change. Is it happening? Is this evidence of a strange shift in our climate patterns? And if so, is this a manmade issue, cyclical occurrance that we are going through or cyclical with a manmade push to speed it all up? Climate change or not, we need to start respecting our environment and increasing our efforts in being better custodians of all that we have been entrusted with.
