Original: America’s fall colors are changing, and scientists say this is why

Scientists say autumn foliage across the United States is shifting, with peak colors arriving later or appearing less vivid in many regions.

Why now: Reports of shifting fall foliage timing are drawing attention as a visible sign of climate change during peak leaf-peeping season.
