The effects of global warming are disrupting New England's maple syrup production, but you won't have to change your pancake topping yet. Higher temperatures are pushing back the season for tapping trees, which is also ending sooner, scientists report. However, the impact will be felt "very slowly--perhaps over a century or so," says Timothy Perkins, PhD, director of the University of Vermont's Proctor Maple Research Center.
By then, he tells VT, most maple syrup will come from Canada, which will remain colder longer than New England.
