Mother Nature seems to have sprung a surprise by
advancing the onset of the Spring season, even before the scheduled finale of the cold weather. Netherlands, for instance, after a warmed up autumn witnessed the arrival of swallows and Red Admiral Butterflies, a signal that Summer had set in. Bulgaria too faces a situation where its bear populace is displaying its incapability to hibernate, clearly an indication of the biological clock going for a toss. Again, right from the olives to the orange trees, the bloom began in Mediterranean Greece well before the scheduled start. Scientists have gone on record to project the year 2007 as the warmest year of our planet (vapourising the record set in 1998!), predicting a 0.54 degree rise in global temperature. Recent reports from the United Nations have hinted at the possibility of floods, famines and heat waves gaining frequency in the coming years.
