coastalplainsnowman Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 Not sure if it's been mentioned here yet, but some decent sized brushfires in progress on the east end. Unless it's something coincidental I'm looking at, looks very visible on satellite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW, we did the same thing when the millennium changed. Try and beat that. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How is there so much greenery on the east end? It looks like summer there with all those green leafed out trees. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Star Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 I wonder if Volcanic Winter can shed some light on whether the Alaskan Volcano potential eruptions on MSN is just "overblown" hooey? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that total lunar eclipse can be seen and it's exceptionally dark it means there are particles in the stratosphere that could lead to a global cooling trend which might have impacts on this summer and next winter. If the eclipse is bright red it means our stratosphere is clean and there is no impact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, at this point, the amounts are orders of magnitudes too small to have any measurable impact on the climate. It's a great idea though. Maybe I need to find a partner? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes they've been experimenting in the New Mexico desert. Wait, you want to partner with them? There are several governments looking to join in, likely by 2030.

I'm all in on this idea. Let's be real climate change is a global problem, not a specific country problem. I don't care how many initiatives and policies the West implements, even if we went 100% greenhouse gas free China alone accounts for a third of global emissions, so what's the point of we give other places a pass to pollute? And no they should not be given time to catch up on polluting the Earth lol, you think the Earth gives a crap who's polluting and when they started? So I only see geo engineering as a practical solution to this global problem. It's actually feasible to cool the Earth back to preindustrial levels by annual releases of aerosols in the stratosphere, and the cost would be something like 20 to 40 billion dollars, a drop in the bucket. I hope this takes off and we go all in on this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah this is why I'm also against countries in the Global South and other developing countries be allowed to *catch up*-- this is a global climate emergency and nature doesn't give a shit about politics or income level or region of the world. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't hurt them or anything. I just close the door and leave for an hour or two; when I come back, they're always gone. They must be smart enough to know how to leave on their own.

I got the glue traps originally to catch mice but the cats and this giant hawk that visits my back yard got rid of the mice and now the glue traps have a secondary function, they catch centipedes without me ever having to see them. A dead centipede looks a lot less scary (and smaller) than a live one! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead they are being lazy and just singing. If we could implant a control device on a bird's head and tell it to eat all wasps, centipedes, spiders and carpenter bees, that would be great!

Ours are bad, but if you lived in South America or South Asia, OMG, they're the size of snakes there and really vicious. They eat rats and when they sting you it feels like your blood is boiling (literally!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
