The burning of fossil fuels emits large amounts of greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide, into the atmosphere. These gases trap heat from the sun and cause global temperatures to rise. As a result, the average temperature in many regions is increasing, especially during spring when temperatures are typically cooler. This change is causing plants and flowers to bloom earlier in the spring, as they are responding to the warmer temperatures. Therefore, the connection between flowers blooming earlier in spring and the burning of fossil fuels is due to the impact of greenhouse gas emissions on global climate change.
