Gonna be be much cooler this weekend. Out normal high is 72F. This weekend forecast 57-60F
I'm not gonna complain because in July and August we will be wishing for that level of temperatures.
Now, the message of this post is that I have been saying since the first flood in early January (there have been three,now) that the water levels and winds were stressing out the birds and wildlife, changing their behavior. There were some who disagreed with me. That's fine. But, in a National Geographic Report about the effect of climate change in Northern Alaska, the first state in the Continental US to see changes, is reporting the amount of stress that the birds, wildlife and fish are experiencing with the change in climate. Evidence suggest melting ice, rise in sea levels, deep arctic cold fronts lasting longer and being more frequent are changing animal behavior. I'm not one to say, "I told you so", but I will say, " I've heard that before somewhere!"
