In summary, studies (scientific or otherwise) of plants and their flowering times show nothing about whether human activity is causing global warming. you let your imagination run wild and predict the people who take the time and trouble to study these things could be jiggering with the figures. No, I questioned whether enthusiastic amateur recorders of FFD's would compete to find the earliest FFD's. That is not "jiggling" with the figures. Its simply searching for unusually early first flowerings. Its the kind of competitive thing that people do. And theres nothing wrong in wondering whether it has happened. Not all plants of the same variety flower on the exact same date. Its always possible to find a particular plant in some particular location that will bloom earlier than most.
