Time for a well-earned weekend, let me tell you

Only the libs would classify plant food a “pollutant,” idiocy at it’s finest-

The government took a major step in that direction Friday, concluding that carbon dioxide and five other greenhouse gases “endanger public health and welfare” under federal clean air laws, that they help cause climate change, or global warming and pose an enormous threat “in both magnitude and probability.”

And the only thing these junk science environmental terrorists will ever change is how much your energy usage costs, didn’t think they were gonna raise your taxes, did you?

Well, they just did, morons.

That should be good for the poor and needy.

The last time snow fell in Las Vegas in April was on April 4,1958, making Wednesday’s activity the latest snow sighting recorded to date.

Next season’s “Survivor” and “The Great Race” combine for a contest in LA (lower Alabama) in which teams are set adrift with no cellphones, money, or extra clothing. They wear T-shirts with captions like, “I support gun control”, “yo mama likes Obama”, and “me and Billy here support gay marriage”. They must use their wits and make it to a safe house before their counterparts, who are set adrift in Vermont with shirts that say “I love the NRA”, “conservatives are people, too”, and “children are not toys, quit playing with them”. Should be an interesting season.

The Importance of Carbon Dioxide (Co2)
for Healthy Plant Growth

Most of the applied research on greenhouse crops has dealt with effects of environmental conditions on plant growth. Factors such as water, light, temperature and nutrients are more easily controlled for optimum growth. It is now possible to also control and accurately measure Carbon Dioxide concentrations in greenhouse and Controlled Environment Garden (CEG) atmospheres.

We simply can’t keep running at this pace and expect the comforts we now enjoy to keep on coming.

Sorry, but you are brainwashed.

Let’s start from the beginning-

Reductions of greenhouse emissions are supposed to save lives, supposedly, correct?

It is true, as Hunt noted, that the 2003 heatwave claimed 2,000 lives in Britain; that human-caused warming will increase global temperatures by about 2.6 degrees Celsius on average; and that high temperatures cause heat strokes, heart attacks and other illnesses, which hit the elderly and chronically ill the hardest. But low temperatures also kill. The old, infirm, homeless and very young are at the highest risk of hypothermia, heart attacks, strokes and illnesses caused or exacerbated by the cold.

Winter regularly takes many more lives than any heatwave: 25,000 to 50,000 people each year die in Britain from excess cold. Across Europe, there are six times more cold-related deaths than heat-related deaths. We know this from the world’s biggest cross-national, peer-reviewed studies under the aegis of Professor William Keatinge of the University of London.

Now, what about food shortages?

Climate and Agriculture. The present warming trend has not resulted in agricultural water shortages. Indeed, rainfall is currently increasing moderately over most of the world because global warming evaporates more water from the oceans, where it falls back to earth in a reinvigorated hydrological cycle.

Infrared satellite readings show that the Earth has been getting greener since 1982, thanks apparently to increased rainfall and CO2. Worldwide, vegetative activity generally increased by 6.17 percent between 1982 and 1999 – despite extended cloudiness due to the 1991 eruption of Mount Pinatubo and other well-publicized environmental stresses.

OK, so let’s address the fact that the Earth has been getting COLDER the last decade-

Last Monday – on ABC Radio National, of all places – there was a tipping point of a different kind in the debate on climate change. It was a remarkable interview involving the co-host of Counterpoint, Michael Duffy and Jennifer Marohasy, a biologist and senior fellow of Melbourne-based think tank the Institute of Public Affairs. Anyone in public life who takes a position on the greenhouse gas hypothesis will ignore it at their peril.

She replied: “No, actually, there has been cooling, if you take 1998 as your point of reference. If you take 2002 as your point of reference, then temperatures have plateaued. This is certainly not what you’d expect if carbon dioxide is driving temperature because carbon dioxide levels have been increasing but temperatures have actually been coming down over the last 10 years.”

And, finally-

New Danish research shows that large parts of Greenland were covered by forest. This was discovered by analysing fossil DNA which had been ~~~~~~~~preserved under the kilometre-thick icecap.~~~~~~~~ The DNA-traces are likely close to 450,000 years old, and that means that Greenland was also covered in a large ice sheet 125,000 years ago during the earth’s last warm period, Eem. This was while the climate was 5 degrees warmer than the interglacial period we currently live in.

Believe me dude, there are A LOT of things the democrats and pinko journalists lie about.

A lot of things.

They want to be consequential without any risk, save the world without any efforts, so they create “catastrophes” that only they can “save” us from.

And it really helps them to have a bunch of brainwashed nincompoops to believe the nonsense they spew.

I do my planting the first week in May up here in the slightly higher elevation of North Georgia. But, I got my plowing done and now I have to add a little lime and some 10-10-10 and till it up before the next rain. So, I’ll likely do that tomorrow since the forecast calls for a chance of rain Sunday. This is only my fourth year of gardening at our new home and it has been a struggle getting that little patch of dirt in good shape but it is getting better each year.

Andy,

We use raised beds for the tomatoes and herbs. I plow up a slightly larger patch for the corn and okra and squash and cucumbers and lima beans and crowder peas. Plus, I plant a few extra stalks for the black bears. They come through and pick a few ears and carry them over to the safety of the pines and eat them and leaves the husks piled up for me. They’re so considerate. We also have set out blueberries and thornless blackberries and figs and rasberries. In the near future, I plan on taking out some more pines and planting either pecans or apples. Maybe even a pear or two. The only thing that’s struggling are the figs. The deer really like them — almost as much as our young azeleas. Also, the figs really prefer warmer weather. They did just fine when we lived down in Gwinnett County.
