  1. it's a great idea for the Tree From Hell too lol
  2. Looks like most of the processes in place are to remove CO2 from the air rather than cutting down on fossil fuels. Removing water vapor to make more drinking water has a lot of merit and could help a lot of people that don't have access to clean drinking water around the world.
  3. Probably a better idea, I think small scale versions of that are already happening.
  4. looks like a volcanic eruption lol
  5. thats exactly why you need a whole home multistage filter (one of many reasons).
  6. we're going to have to learn how to pump that shit into outer space. They did a whole thing on ABC today for Earth Day about a certain kind of sand that absorbs CO2. If sand can absorb CO2 and remove it from the air, then we can also pump excess water vapor into outer space. Get rid of two greenhouse gases at once.
  7. wow this is absolutely amazing, I saw it too, in the northwest. you took this image with your cell phone?
  8. It's been cloudy for over an hour now lol
  9. we have sprinklers for that too lol. I do a combo of manually watering plus using sprinklers.
  10. But we're used to watering here on the south shore. I don't see a problem with it-- plus my best season for vegetables and flowers (summer squash, zucchini, okra, potatoes, carrots, corn, eggplant, tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, green beans, sunflowers, roses, etc.) was 1993 which was a super hot summer with around 2 inches of rain each month of the summer. I think they need sunshine a lot more than they need rain. 1993 was my favorite summer for growing.
  11. I don't know why so many people complain about watering. Not you specifically, but just in general. If people want to garden or do agriculture they should expect to spend at least an hour a day watering (especially during the summer.) I really enjoy watering, it's good exercise and gives you a hands on experience, rather than being lazy and relying on nature.
  12. this is a good excuse to spray pesticides, lanternflies are absolutely disgusting.
  13. we need more woodpeckers! I've only seen one here over the last few years, they will help control these weed trees and the lanternfly.
  14. omg two pests, this explains why I saw so many lanternflies here last summer. One even got inside my house (I killed it immediately), but I see many of them flying around outside.
  15. Still cloudy today, I hate it when fronts lag like this.
  16. And also with more rainfall the winds required to topple over trees is less. Now we're seeing trees come down in 40 mph gusts, which used to need 60 mph gusts to bring down.
  17. Yes! I call them the Tree from Hell.
  18. I wonder how much tree loss there was in September 1998 in Lynbrook when we had that severe wx outbreak on Labor Day and an F2 tornado directly hit Lynbrook. That was our biggest severe wx outbreak for this area that I can remember.
  19. We have these giant invasive trees here (I'm not sure what they are called) that are spreading like wildfire. Completely cut off the sun and it's affected my planting. Thinking of trimming the top off or just hiring someone to cut it down.
  20. I've read about male trees being a big problem because people are too lazy to plant female trees because they don't want to clean up after them.
  21. yes this is just the rogue off mark day, however I see central NJ has already made it into the 60s.
  22. I hate pesticides, but as for excessive pollination, it's no longer natural because of our warming climate, we've made it much worse. =\ Also, the things that give us allergies and breathing problems aren't really essential to our environment.
  23. The sun is starting to come out here and I see large patches of blue skies everywhere.....
  24. Chris have you noticed the chronological progression here too? It actually seems to be getting worse with time! It was shorter from the 40s through the 60s and beginning with the 70s the gaps have been getting wider. The turning point was after 1966.... that was one GREAT summer going by the numbers. 2010-2013 was a hot island in a vast sea of mediocrity!
  25. Maybe one day we'll figure out plant birth control and be able to spray something that will limit pollenation. It gets worse every year.
