Climate change in your backyard

"Climate change is already affecting Britain's green spaces - hotter, drier summers and water shortages have been forcing gardeners to abandon thirsty lawns and parched native flowers in favour of Mediterranean-style plants. Garden centres have reported a tenfold increase in the sales of cordylines, grey foliage and other species accustomed to hot, dry climates, while British garden favourites such as pansies, lupins and delphiniums have been steadily declining in popularity.
Experts are so concerned that they have launched a drive to Save Our Great British Gardens."

The British people are crazy about their gardening. Where it takes a threat to national security to open the eyes of Americans, perhaps a threat to gardening is what is needed to make the British more aware of globalwarming.
