Sakura Bloom and The Global Warming

Sakura Bloom and The Global Warming

The Sakura bloom is getting earlier in Japan. In Tokyo, it is about a week earlier compare to the 1980s. Study in Kagoshima found that warmer weather not only causing early blooming, but also making the sakura unable to fully bloom. If the warming continue, the romance of full blooming Japanese sakura will start to disappear from these Islands.
