On the gardening front, my two stevia plants that survived over winter last year under two 24" T5 florescent lights, are thriving under 4 48" T5s this year. Hoping to start geminating spinach, kale, Swiss chard, and peas this week. When May gets here I want to have some large plants to put in the ground. I've mulched the beds (a little over 600 sq. ft.) and sown rye and buckwheat, which will get cut and covered over with a fresh layer of alfalfa (lucern), two weeks before planting.

The facts are in dispute, however the preponderance of scientist agree that it appears that the planet is warming (at least in part) because of our use of fossil fuels, and the large herds of cattle being raised for human consumption(methane). Whatever the cause, more methane is being released as the arctic tundra warms up, which will only accelerate global warming. If the oceans warm a bit more, frozen methane anhydride will be released, and global warming will accelerate again. OK, this is speculation from some of the world's best minds. They could be wrong, but, then again, they could be right. It seems that the wise man, given a choice of looking foolish or dead, would pick foolish. Or do you suggest that we hunker down like ol' Harry Truman did when ordered to evacuate the region around Mt. St. Helens?

says... By your standards, neither do you. The facts are in dispute, however the preponderance of scientist agree that it appears that the planet is maybe I misfollowed the thread. I thought somebody was making a claim that god or gods exist. The thread is about global warming. Frank threw a rather dumb monkey wrench into the mechanism by changing the subject line and posting a link to http://atroshenko.com/NSAlBuddha.html --an irrelevancy and in context, I think an ad hominem. I've stayed out of the mix to this point because I believe the small fry AGW chiquitita pequeño tiranitos require no answer that absorbs more than a moment of my time. Generally I think AGW types have no instinct for the opportunity embedded in an wholistic response to global warming. |
