Global warming may worsen PETS' allergies - Your Life - SunHerald.com
Recent research into climate change and plant growth indicates both people and their pets may have a tougher time with allergies in the future.

Leaving aside the discussion about what is causing the warming of the Earth's climate, it seems warmer temperatures and increased levels of CO2 in the atmosphere are helping plants grow faster.

This can mean more pollen in the air to stimulate allergies. My nose is telling me the fall pollen season has started, and it may be worse this year than in the past.
Has Santa Ana been reporting wrong temperatures for years? - Sciencedude - OCRegister.com
Watts pressed the matter, not only with me, but with the Santa Ana Fire Department. In an impressive bit of reporting, Watts persuaded the SAFD to get someone to photograph the weather station that’s located on the roof of the fire department’s building in downtown Santa Ana. The photo shows that the weather station is near what appears to be air conditioning vents, and that it might be facing in a direction that could allow the sun in when temperatures were being read, leading to unduly high readings.
