Effects of Climate Change...

Okay, so a report by the National Center for Atmospheric Research will soon be published in the scientific journal Climatic Change outlining the forecasted effects of global warming. As expected, warmer temps overall is the #1 effect, but surprisingly interspersed with heavy precipitation. So as they say "When it rains, it rains more"...ditto with snow. Other than one thing, all of the effects were to be expected, in my opinion. However, what I did not expect was the prediction that bug infestations would increase. My first reaction is "ewwwwwww!" My second is "save the environment from bug infestation!"

I already have enough of those annoying chinese beetles in the spring. I don't need anything else, thank you very much.

Wait... let me guess... more of those dang Japanese beetles? I'm glad that they are gone for the year so I can stop cleaning up their carcasses on a daily basis.
