Earth's Hottest Month

[Frankenkubota]

Does burning everything but glass and metal in your backyard count as recycling? Asking for a friend...

Kevin

it does around here!

My electric company did not get the memo that this July was the hottest on record. According to my bill, the average July 2021 temp for July was 73. A year ago in July 2020 it was 78. For some reason I believe the utility company. They don't have an environmental axe to grind if the temp is high or low.

"avvvvvverrrrrrraaaaageeeeee".

My mother has mandatory recycling. Every month she brings her recycle bin out to the roadside... dragging it with one hand while the other holds her cane. Often she drags that same full bin back with the same material in it after they gather the rest of the trash.
One thing which mandatory fees for tires and white goods has done is sent more of that trash onto the roadside; one refrigerator and 2 tires would take away the money for a 30 pack.

Well that sort of makes my point...rather than spending all the media time and money preaching their AGW blame game every time they get a chance....they should be pushing ways to improve the way individuals can actually do something...like recycle...

IMO there is much more of an effort by whatever factions to make people believe that man is the cause than there is an effort to do anything about it...

There's no market for the recyclables.

i've read a couple articles about it and pbs did a documentary on it.

i know the hobby lobby folks just got busted for buying illegal relics from the mid east. i believe this museum was also implicated.

Noah's Ark in KY. resembles an amusement park more than a museum. Its relevance to Climate Change is dubious.

We have 3 bins
1. General trash
2. plastic and aluminum bottles cans, etc.
3. cardboard.

Our esteemed trash collection company collects everything in 1 truck (previous trash company had 2 separate trucks).
Theres 2 compactor bins in the current truck. They take bin#2 and put it in one compactor bin. They put #1 & #3 together in the other compactor bin.

So everyone dutifully separates the cardboard (#3) from the general trash (#1) and the trash collectors throw it all in the same compactor bin. Lol

Aggravating, ain't it?

Hmm... seems like Noah was making a claim that major climate change was coming.

Government Regulations that don’t work and are openly violated.

I'm sure someone, somewhere, took into account many temperature measurements around the globe to reach their conclusion; not just the temp in your back yard.

Some won't read this because of the source, but it gives a detailed description of how and when to plant trees. Planting Trees Sounds Like A Simple Climate Fix. It's Anything But.

I've long held that rather than creating huge tracts of undeveloped land far from population centers for the elite to use, there would be a lot more benefit to creating forest preserves next to big cities. It will never happen though because people would use them.

(I wouldn't have read it either, if it hadn't been linked from a Maine Forest Service newsletter.)
