I wouldn't worry about Climate Change. Once the nanny state figures out that maple syrup has sugar in it - they will either legislate it or tax it out of existence.
Radiation from Japan's nuclear meltdowns is all over the U.S. and people are reporting mutations in their gardens and trees, etc.
Fukushima was only last March, when the sap was already starting to flow, and the fallout, if any, didn't cross the Pacific and North America instantaneously. The design of the power plant was flawed (the emergency generators and coolant pumps being on the ground floor where the tsunami could reach them) but I don't see how you can blame this on it.
Climate change is a more likely suspect. The individual trees don't migrate, but the next generation will be farther north. The question is.... More
Sorry...but I dont get the "trees migrating North"..? But you can be sure that if the US chooses to bomb yet another country, Iran, that could well be the death knell to more than Maple Syrup.
I strongly encourage folks to DEMAND the govt use DIPLOMACY NOT MILITARY response for the sake of Humanity and the planet. thanks
We will use DIPLOMACY if Obama wins a 2nd term but will not if the republicans win.
