4.5 days and 8 days If you are looking at the data given for FLOWERS in previous posts I think you will see those are the figures PER DECADE not PER CENTURY. I suppose you will also "claim" that Darwin wasn't a scientist. I prefer to use the word "report" btw, I don't go around assuming everyone is habitual liars. Some times a mistake is made in a report and most people are happy to see any mistake corrected. The anti warming crowd are on a mission though, and seem to be a grim unhappy lot. once again.... Writing in Science in 2002, Richard Fitter and his son Alistair Fitter found that "the average FFD of 385 British plant species has advanced by 4.5 days during the past decade compared with the previous four decades". They note that FFD is sensitive to temperature, as is generally agreed, that "150 to 200 species may be flowering on average 15 days earlier in Britain now than in the very recent past"
