A Camellia Grows in Boston

According to many scientists, the Industrial Revolution and the explosion in the use of fossil fuels have led to a worldwide rise in air and sea temperatures. Although some skeptical politicians and scientists argue against the evidence for global warming, the personal experience of Harvard's arboretum director indicates otherwise. This seasoned horticulturalist finds a degree of joy in seeing Chinese tulips and magnolias from the American South surviving through Boston's traditionally cold winters. But, he cautions, "from the garden where I work, the plants seem to be telling us something we may not want to hear: the world is changing." - YaleGlobal
