Climate Change and its First Effect on College Football


The USDA has updated something called the Plan Hardiness Zone Map. You can read about it here. Here is what the map represents:

Plant hardiness zone designations represent the average annual extreme minimum temperatures at a given location during a particular time period. They do not reflect the coldest it has ever been or ever will be at a specific location, but simply the average lowest winter temperature for the location over a specified time. Low temperature during the winter is a crucial factor in the survival of plants at specific locations.

And why is there an updated version of this map?

Compared to the 1990 version, zone boundaries in this edition of the map have shifted in many areas. The new map is generally one 5-degree Fahrenheit half-zone warmer than the previous map throughout much of the United States.

What does this have to do with college football?

Because College Football is too important to be left to the professionals.
