and most of the trees are male so it causes loads of problems with allergies
-
monotype culture, it's the problem with our food supply and farming system too. We're going to face a real crisis in a few decades when our food supply starts to run out. One single plant disease could do it.
-
when do you think the next -AMO will begin?
-
Not get rid of but *slowly* replace with trees that are less flammable. It looks like nature is doing that anyway. The new climate doesn't seem to be able to sustain the trees that are currently occupying it.
-
Yes and even on a human based level, there are likely cures to several diseases in the Amazon forest that we've yet to discover.
-
Yes, the problem is when something bad happens in nature, the usual cause is humans, not nature. Nature seeks to achieve a sustainable balance, humans have more short term goals.
-
I've been contemplating this too, the fires are nature's way of replacing something which no longer fits the climate.
-
We can go after the farmers in the Amazon who were intentionally burning the trees there. I would put sanctions on Brazil and embargo their coffee if they don't arrest and imprison those stupid farmers.
-
The farmers that intentionally burned those trees in the Amazon should be prosecuted-- those trees are far more important to us than the ones in Canada, the Amazon is the *lungs* of the planet. The trees in the Amazon would never have been burned if those stupid farmers hadn't intentionally set them on fire.
-
They can be replaced with foliage that is much less flammable. There really is no other immediate answer to this problem. This is a health issue too, the air pollution from those fires has led to a multitude of health problems including higher rates of asthma.
-
But this has also led to more fires and those trees in Canada are more flammable than other trees, so the best course of action is going to be to remove them and replace them with foliage that is much less flammable.

I think you must've hit 100 in June too, NYC hit 101 in June in 1966.

Fell just two days shy of the 13 90+ days of July 2010.
-
when did JFK's streak of 3 100+ days in 1948 begin Tony?
-
that cool? it's in the mid 80s here
-
Thanks Tony, 2010 stands alone at the top as the only one with 30+ 90 degree days. 1983 and 2002 are the only others that had 20+
-
One of our greatest summers of all time!!
-
Nice, all my favorite years are near the top lol
-
Those trees have got to go! This is a yearly thing now-- either we remove the trees or nature will.
-
Looks like July 2010's 13 90 degree days is the record at JFK, the only other month that could come close would be July 1999 which was also very hot and very dry.
-
That 5 day stretch in July was the hottest period I'd known prior to 2010.
-
No, although that 99 on the 21st was toasty lol. July 1993 and July 1999 were hotter.
-
where did these clouds come from? there are no fronts nearby......
-
it's completely overcast here lol
-
That probably had the most 90 degree days of any month at JFK unless July 1993 or July 1999 exceeded it. Thanks !!
