Seasons come and go ... and they're doing so nearly two days earlier than they used to http://apocadocs.com/s.pl?1232671567
In the depths of winter, it may provide some comfort to think that summer will be here earlier than usual. But so will next winter.
In fact, the arrivals of all seasons have been sped up by nearly two days, according to new research, part of a worldwide trend that scientists say is tied to climate change.
Not only are temperatures rising, but the hottest and coldest days of the year are falling ever earlier in the calendar, a trend that accelerates from the late 1970s onward.
The research, conducted by scientists from the University of California at Berkeley and Harvard University, is published in the latest edition of the scientific journal Nature.
