Predicted lows in the 20's, possibility of some frozen wet something in some areas of north Georgia.... and we know if the wind changes direction it's no telling for the rest of us.

The ocean and photosynthesis ... never considered that. However I'm going to have nightmares over the info about mosquitos!!!

Now if only half of us cut their lawn then we drop to 18th, just kidding. (P.S.most photosynthesis occurs on the ocean) Anybody who thinks we can effect global climate change needs to have a good long talk with the dinosaurs and the termites. Dinosaurs roamed the Earth for millions of years and the termites are still here! I worry more about the caldera at Yellowstone than what the alarmists and human egotists are chicken littling' (new word) about. We've been around for a couple hundred thousand years, One should worry more about an asteroid that is headed this way right now. We are so due for a hit! It is how insignificant we are. It all boils down to odds. We can't take ourselves so seriously, you know dust to dust, ashes to ashes, eventually, guaranteed we will be stardust again. Live responsibly, but enjoy life while you are here because it is the only one we have and Al Bore: "Please stop scaring the children!" jarasan... [ More ]

The more vegetation on the planet, the more photosynthesis that occurs. A 6" blade of grass will photosynthesize twice as much as a 3" blade of grass. There are no political or economic boundaries on this irrefutable chemical process.

My comment about trees was that the US has more due to replanting after harvesting. We have our priorities correct but third world countries do not and if the truth be known my bets are some of the industrially developing nations do not either.

However, I do believe that the massive deforestation taking place in 3rd world countries around the world does have an effect. Not just on things like CO2, but on water pollution, heat island effects, and thus on rainfall. In fact, I would say that all our SUVs put together is not even a drop in the bucket compared to the massive deforestation taking place. That is why things like the Kyoto (sp?) treaty is so completely ridiculous and useless.... [ More ]

They also transplant much more easily than large specimen types I've seen go through stress and never seem to take off.<br /><br />Yes, less la... [ More ]

High School Biology taught us that photosynthesis involves absorbing carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen. Population expansion has removed a lot of the vegetation that performs this atmosphere-cleansing process for us.<br /><br />My question is, why do we mow our lawns, clear our brush, pull our weeds? Aren't we contributing to global warming by unnecessarily removing vegetation for appearance sake? This may be small scale as an individual... [ More ]
