Editor, the Gazette:
The Dayton Flyers aren't the only thing giving the Buckeyes problems these days.
According to a new report to the National Wildlife Federation, Ohio's beloved Buckeye tree is being threatened by climate change. Extreme weather such as drought, storms and extreme heat is actually forcing the Ohio Buckeye tree to move north - into rival Michigan. Ugh.
While most Ohio State fans are still feeling the pain of losing to Dayton, my fellow fans should keep in account that, if we don't act on reducing the carbon pollution that causes these drastic changes to our natural systems, it is a possibility we could lose the Buckeye forever.
The EPA has rolled out a plan to reduce carbon pollution, and I urge Congress to support it. We owe it to the next generation of Buckeye fans.
