Hay fever misery to increase with global warming: Invasive ragweed to spread pollen further due to climate change
Climate change could help a notorious invasive weed known to trigger severe allergy attacks to spread and bring misery to hay fever sufferers, experts have warned.
Ragweed, also known as Ambrosia artemisiifolia, is native to North America but since the 1960s has been spreading rapidly across warmer parts of Europe.
It is still rare in the UK, but researchers predict by 2050 it could be scattering pollen throughout much of Britain and northern Europe.

All that ragweed would be a b*tch, if there was such a thing as Global Warming.
Luckily, it’s an utter fiction calculated to provide scientists an opportunity to suck away on the Public Teat.
Well co2 causes more plant mass to directly. But as far as the average global tempetur...we live in individual climates that vary far more than the average...moreover models of the average promoted by agw alarmists have been notoriously off.
Global warming causes everything! - time to add to the list:

CO2, the new George Bush for all of our ills.
Global warming causes everything-
My favorite is “Spiders invading Scotland”.
Yes. I think we have an ELE (Extinction Level Event)problem on our hands here folks. Damn.
I bet it was that damn Ragweed that killed off all the dinosaurs, too!
Hey! I was just hit with an Epiphany right out of the blue! Just like a bolt of lightning!
All these global warming citations of causes from A to Z are JUST LIKE a thread here whose subject matter is so ridiculous, the following posts in it become an exponentially expanding explosion of sarcasm and jokes. They come so fast, you can hardly keep up with them in real time.
Only here, the AGW topic’s absurdity isn’t so patently obvious to the little ants that keep doing these studies and the operatives in the media who distribute the spin on them.
As with most of the “global warming” claims, there is another more plausible explanation. It is a form of scientific laziness to attribute every observation to “global warming”—using that as an “explanation” frees the scientist doing so from actually having to figure out what is going on, which often is not obvious or easy to determine.
Invasive species (like ragweed) are one of the most severe environment threats of our time. With increased mobility of people, those species tend to cross borders fairly easily. And there is no easy answer to stop them, either.
Doesn’t RoundUp work on ragweed?
I don’t have an allergy problem, but I can sense when ragweed is around—the air smells of pepper! Compared microscopically to other pollens, ragweed has a pollen grain that is hugh and series.
Good. Why shouldn’t those arrogant Europeans have to suffer with hay fever? Another benefit of Global Warming.
Not only that, but at the SAME time, GW also causes ~A to ~Z.
News editors tell reporters to gin up more GW stories.
“Doesn’t RoundUp work on ragweed?”
Yep, but it’s cheaper to mow it before it matures.
Mow it a couple of years in a row before it matures and it’s pretty much gone.
However snowshoe accidents will be reduced

Maybe someone can call up the Hughe Manatee on this one?
Oh No! we got hit with global warming the past few weeks in Georgia! It was fairly cool and now it is in the 80’s! Been doing this for hundreds of years!
