Climate change is affecting the way caretakers from the National Park Service tend to the Tidal Basin's cherry blossom trees.Warm weather and rising sea levels have been causing peak bloom, when 70 percent of the blossoms are open, to occur earlier.This January was DC's third warmest in the last 73 years, and this season's peak bloom is estimated to happen between March 22 and 25.
