This special molting pattern helps the unassuming furballs blend into the landscape and stay out of the crosshairs of bobcats, foxes, and owls. But when the final snow melts earlier and earlier in the spring thanks to climate change, the hare`s natural molting pattern is off, leading to "camouflage mismatch." And no, "camouflage mismatch" isn`t...

Washington Post: As the East Coast digs out from the enormous snowfalls of Winter Storm Jonas, a prominent climate scientist has drawn a provocative connection between the storm, warm ocean temperatures off the U.S. and a slowdown of ocean circulation in the North Atlantic that may also be behind a much discussed cold blob to the southeast of Greenland.
