*[Enwl-eng] Allergy seasons are getting worse. It's because of climate change.

Itchy eyes and runny noses are thanks to our warming planet. Climate Change Is Making All of Our Allergies Worse Sign Now        Climate change is making spring and fall miserable for millions of people. In fact, nearly 1 in 3 adults and 1 in 4 children in the U.S. now have seasonal allergies, which is higher than at any time in the past.  Allergies aren't just inconvenient — they can cause serious infections and the spread of dangerous viruses. And it's only going to get worse if we don't rein in our carbon emissions and stop the planet from warming.   President Joe Biden's National Climate Task Force must address the seasonal allergy crisis and create stronger climate policy in the U.S.!   What does climate change have to do with stuffy noses and itchy eyes? Since spring is starting earlier in many parts of the world, pollen seasons are beginning earlier, too — and lasting longer.   To make matters worse, many regions where weather was previously too cold for pollen-producing plants are warming up now, meaning that these types of plants can now grow there, too. On top of all of that, carbon dioxide in the atmosphere itself also stimulates plants to release more pollen. The result is higher pollen counts than scientists have ever recorded before.   It is time for the National Climate Task Force to step up its efforts to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions!
