Climate change extends allergy season

 https://breakingnewsenglish.com/2303/230320-allergies.html

Not everyone in the world looks forward to the joys of spring. While many people take delight in observing the glory of newly-formed buds revealing their delicate blossoms, others dread this annual phenomenon. That's because blooming plants bring seasonal allergies like hay fever. The National Phenology Network (NPN) in the USA has warned hay fever sufferers that spring has arrived up to four weeks earlier than usual. The pollen that causes so many symptoms is already causing misery. To make matters worse, the warmer weather will prolong hay fever season. The NPN said: "It's a little unsettling. It perhaps isn't surprising, given the trajectory our planet is on."

Phenologists, climatologists and meteorologists are blaming climate change for the unseasonably warmer weather. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration reported that the U.S. winter's average temperature was 2.7 degrees warmer than the 20th century average. Lauren Casey, a meteorologist with Climate Central, told the CNN news agency that climate change is resulting in earlier and longer seasons for plants, causing a greater prevalence of pollen. She said pollen was "the enemy" of people who suffer from allergies. She said pollen can trigger asthma attacks and aggravate mold allergies. Another scientist said: "Acting on climate change really does matter for people's health."

Avicii - The Nights

-

Lyrics:

Hey, once upon a younger year

When all our shadows disappeared

The animals inside came out to play

Hey, when face to face with all our fears

Learned our lessons through the tears

Made memories we knew would never fade

One day my father—he told me,

"Son, don't let it slip away"

He took me in his arms, I heard him say,

"When you get older

Your wild life will live for younger days

Think of me if ever you're afraid."

He said, "One day you'll leave this world behind

So live a life you will remember."

My father told me when I was just a child

These are the nights that never die

My father told me

When thunder clouds start pouring down

Light a fire they can't put out

Carve your name into those shinning stars

He said, "Go venture far beyond the shores.

Don't forsake this life of yours.

I'll guide you home no matter where you are."

One day my father—he told me,

"Son, don't let it slip away."

When I was just a kid I heard him say,

"When you get older

Your wild life will live for younger days

Think of me if ever you're afraid."

He said, "One day you'll leave this world behind

So live a life you will remember."

My father told me when I was just a child

These are the nights that never die

My father told me

These are the nights that never die

My father told me

Why i like this song?

When I listened this song for the first time, I was attracted by it accompaniment.

The sense of hearing is very good, I can't help but move along with it. After carefully looking at the lyrics, I found that this is a very positive song, I really like one of his lyrics:

"One day you'll leave this world behind,so live a life you will remember."

Yes, life is a short journey, you will leave one day, so don't grow old with regrets, enjoy the life you like.

Although he passed away at a very young age, his songs still live in my heart and have influenced me a lot.

Improve your English & Heron and Hummingbird - Never Give Up - Level 1 | LEH #03

 

After watching this video, I think this video is very good. He gave an example similar to the tortoise and the hare. Heron is a big bird, flying slowly, but he won the game with the spirit of not giving up, and his friend, also his opponent, hummingbird, although he flies fast, but he doesn't work hard, he is very lazy, so he lost the game.

In this video, I learned that as long as you don't give up and persevere, you can still succeed
