Climate change could shift buckeyes’ habitat to Michigan

There is a lot we could lose if we don’t get a handle on climate change. Clean air. Manageable storms. A variety of animals and plants and a few islands.

But buckeyes? The state trees of Ohio? To Michigan?

“Dread the thought,” said Roger Williams, an associate professor of forest management at Ohio State University.

But that could happen if the world keeps warming, Williams said yesterday during a climate-change-oriented tour of the Ohio State University campus. The tour was sponsored by the Environment Ohio Research and Policy Center, an environmental advocacy organization.

Buckeyes, breakfast of Champions!

Okay, but where will the Wolverines go? Saskatchewan?

Already there. I don't think a wolverine has actually been spotted in Michigan since the Teddy Roosevelt Administration.

Kill the Vegans... grass habitat thieves

You know, I am not even sure what a wolverine is in the first place.

Range of Ohio buck eye

[dfwgator]

WOLVERINES!

News alert: change is a part of life.

Where were the Buckeye Trees during the last glacial period?
They sure weren't north of Ohio then.

“You know, I am not even sure what a wolverine is in the first place.”

The’re probably good to eat, roasted with buckeyes.

[cripplecreek]

Yeah, I think I’ve seen them.

My newest neighbors are retirees from Ohio too.

"But that could happen if the world keeps warming, Williams said...

That's where Williams goes wrong right there --- It's not warming and hasn't been warming for 18 years. It is officially safe not to listen to another word Williams says. He's either ignorant or a lying sack of manure.

And Michigan will never ever ever accept Buckeyes, the epitome of evil.

But Wolverines are spreading to every state.

Ohioans all go to Michigan when they need a pine-smell recharge.

Ohioans all go to Michigan when they need a lesson in football....................

Why does everything have to be about football?

[hondact200]

There buckeyes in Wisconsin 9southeastern WI - Waukesha , Washington, Ozaukee, Milwaukee, Racine and Kenosha Counties). I believe ther buckeyes in at least southern Michigan already. The travesty is we are already doomed than according to global warmists. Now wonder if the guy believes buckeyes in Upper Michigan. But what do expect from a guy whom is an idiot.

I thought the natural habitat of the Buckeyes was the Horseshoe?

[Slyfox]

LOL - and I moved to Dallas so that I could experience God’s football team in action.

Heh heh heh!
