FOXNews.com - Could Climate Change Push Buckeyes Out of Ohio?
It's not the best-researched global-warming theory, but it could be the most horrifying to certain fans of college football: Environmentalists said Friday that climate change might push the growing range of Ohio's iconic buckeye tree out of the state, leaving it for archrival Michigan.

Save The Buckeye, a coalition of environmental activists and outdoor enthusiasts, has a billboard in Columbus warning about the fate of the buckeye tree, and backers plan to hold rallies during football tailgating events.

The coalition doesn't have any evidence that the buckeye's range has been pushed north but says global warming threatens to make that happen.

The Great Lakes region has experienced climate change often, including when glaciers shaped the landscape and then pulled back. But global warming presents a real concern now, Zak said.

"Humans are the cause of this warming, and that's no longer a debate among scientists," he said.
