Making Lemonade Used to Be a Good Thing

· 9 Comments ·

Global warming, or in this case local warming, gives us lemons. I remember when I was little there was at least one outdoor lemon tree in the park around our castle. They had small fruits but they never fully ripened. I thought this to be an oddity because lemons were not common in Germany. These days I see fully ripened lemons in some gardens. Maybe these are different varieties, maybe they are not fully ripened, but – they are yellow and the ones when I was little were small and green.

I’ve been happy with our Indian summer on a personal level; naked arms and legs and no thick jackets yet. But I am also more than concerned about these temperatures in a wider context. For us in the temperate zones it means a change of the plants and animals that live here but it is manageable. For people living in hotter climes and close to water this moves more and more to life threatening conditions. Which in turn will impact us greatly.
