Thanks for sharing @timcurran.bsky.social . I was inspired to write about warm winters when we had some record hot June days but by the time it got published, we hit a cold snap so the article missed the moment.
But it's still true - winters are warming and that brings lots of changes.

Warmer winters mean insect pests like wasps will likely spread further, while weedy plants and rats invade alpine zones, shrinking the refuge for endangered birds.
