Allergies Allergies Symptoms / Diagnosis Treatment Coping From Daniel More, MD, your Guide to Allergies There is much debate as to whether or not there actually is global warming on the earth, and whether this is a man-made or a natural event. If the earth truly is warming, we might expect a "greenhouse" effect, causing the increased growth of plants as well as an increase in the pollination of these plants. We might also expect the pollinating seasons of these plants, such as spring and fall, to occur earlier in the year and to last longer. Three recent studies showed that pollen seasons are occurring earlier in the year, lasting longer, and resulting in more airborne pollen. Worsening of pollen allergies may be another effect of global warming that has yet to be fully recognized. Is Global Warming Affecting Pollen Allergies? Are global warming and allergies connected?
