Butterfly Lessons

"Butterfly Lessons" is an article in The New Yorker, written by Elizabeth Kolbert, and it addresses the issue of the earth's climate change and how it is affecting its wildlife. Butterflies have shifted their ranges northward, flower shrubs are blooming eight days earlier, and frogs are mating ten days earlier. These climate changes are throwing off the natural order of life for these animals and plants, and it's only a matter of time before we humans have to alter or ways of life as well. I do not think that we should look at it as a problem or as "our fault," because the Earth has been constantly changing since the beginning of time. We as humans, plants, and animals are merely its inhabitants and I think that if we want to remain here, then we need to change right along with it.
