[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Hey Warmers… how big were the glaciers 65 million years ago? What was the DC December temp in 960 AD? I need data.[/quote] That could be hunted up. Ice core samples, sediment in water, spores, tree rings… it could be hunted up and posted here in context but it’s pearls before swine like you. We should take heart: a majority of Americans knows and understands that the climate has changed and is changing and it will not be to the collective benefit of humanity. But the massive scale of the problem and industries that are pretty determined to wring out as many dollars as possible from the planet (and the moron Republicans who make it possible) are daunting. During covid lockdown people stopped driving so much. Skies cleared. Nature got a break; she was fixing herself. But now businesses need everyone! back! in! the! office! so that their real estate doesn’t cost them so much pointless money. There are fixes to various aspects and inputs. For the most part we’re being blocked from using them. And a plea again for what yard having homeowners can do: turf grass requires multiple inputs like fertilizer and pesticides plus lots of water. It behaves as an impermeable surface during many rain events and provides no food or habitat for pollinators. Consider turning over a percentage of your turf to perennials native to your area. After an initial period of watering to get their root system established, they require no inputs and provide fodder for life for bugs and birds. The extensive root systems bury carbon annually (some research indicates that turd grass buries none at all). It won’t undo millions of tons of carbon dioxide released, but it’s what we can control on our own.[/quote]
