My Daffodils Don’t Deny Climate Change

It’s January 20 and it’s 70°here in Durham NC. My daffodils are coming up and I’m wearing a summer dress to go teach.

To all you climate change deniers can you please keep my spring plants from coming up too early? Maybe those of you who hold tight to beliefs that are clearly wrong in the face of nonpartisan evidence can get Mother Nature to side with you and not screw up the growing season.

Daffodils are not a crop or consequential, but they are an harbinger of what we have done to the planet.

For those of you who have ice and snow right now and you use that as an example that global warming does not exist, that is just the wrong name. It is climate change! We have it and we need to do everything we can to slow it down. Not because of flowers, but because of growing food and having clean ground water.
