Did you honestly think I was being serious? I can’t see how you could think I was bring “laughably naïve” without being “laughably naïve” yourself. No offence intended.
In Australia, there were some news articles stating that if an elderly person can’t explain the scratches (blood, body parts) on their car, you should take them to a Doctor to get their licence revoked. But only if you can force them to go somehow.
“We’re coming to realize more and more that we don’t really know exactly what a pristine atmosphere is like.”
While anthropogenic emissions dominate cloud formation in populated areas, plant volatiles dominate over more pristine land elsewhere.
“We are seeing more and more because our instruments are much better now,” she says.
To Fan, the new data suggests that sesquiterpenes may help better account for the global flow of aerosols.
Aerosols make clouds deflect more heat away from Earth-an effect known as “Radiative forcing.” More aerosols mean more reflective clouds that look whiter, last longer, and rain less.
Cut like that with a large, sharp saw could be done in 5 mins. If the bar was long enough to cut from one side, it’s 3 cuts only. If there was no notch/scarf, one backcut and could be done quicker than 5.

I know it’s not yours but the only way, in my opinion, to build discussion is either be wrong or ask dumb questions. Don’t know if you’ve noticed but Lemmy has quietened up considerably.
Valid concerns that are underpinned by improper urban forestry practises regarding the health of trees.
I’d guess we need to move away from the ‘street tree’ as a singular unit and place it into the ‘urban forest’ where trees die on the regular in a natural succession. This includes parasitisation, standing and fallen wood (and leaf litter) etc. We need forest layers.
Bit hard now that the cities are places for cars to drive around but there is hope for the future!
One thing that old people used to say to us is that rapists and/or snakes hide in the undergrowth. You can’t win.
