Species depend on seasonal rhythms.
Birds like the red knot, which rely on mid-Atlantic crab eggs during migration, are now arriving too late due to shifting climate patterns. Insects and pollinators are emerging at different times than the plants they feed on, causing mismatches that threaten reproduction and biodiversity. These unsynchronized life cycles have serious ripple effects on crops and food chains.

Climate change is already taking a toll.
Extreme heat is increasing the incidence of heatstroke, particularly among vulnerable populations.
