Climate Change? Nahhh ...

Yeah, fescue where you live is a tough battle. It’s a cold-weather grass.

You ever consider rocking your front yard? Sorry if you already posted about that.

 

It did. California meanwhile was dry.

 

I have. For a few reasons that is going to be difficult not the least of which is I need to negotiate with my neighbor who owns a quarter of the lawn space in front of my house.

 

Sounds like human nature to me.

Do you have a 3-point plan for bending people toward unfailing beneficence?

 

Wait, your neighbor owns 1/4 of your front yard? How does that work?

 

There’s a shared lawn that the property line runs about 75-25 in my favor. I think it was how the plots were drawn up to help accommodate driveways.

 

The Inland Northwest is dry enough (especially this year) that I can get away with using the reel mower once a week ... or less when it dries out in July and August.

But I used to use it in the humidity of the Quad-Cities (Iowa, along the Mississippi River), so I know what you mean.

 

Oh, c'mon. Factories have belched out pollutants on an industrial scale ever since the industrial revolution began. Absolutely Joe Public contributes - but Joe does not have lawyers and lobbyists making sure that the way laws are written leaves plenty of wiggle room for them to do things the way they prefer. If we're going to be able to change things, to have even a bare chance of slowing down warming and climate change, we're all going to have to make changes and sacrifices. If we don't, our grandchildren and their kids will curse us in our graves.

Thirty BILLION TONS of CO2 a year. That's all of us.

What society have y’all lived in the past 18 months to believe this country will muster the collective will to get out of a doom loop?

 

Yeah. Like I said, I'm gonna be dead in twenty years, so this won't confront me in a meaningful way. Not the way it will today's children.

 

I figured my kids would see a civil war sometime during middle age, but now it looks like it will be with a Mad Max style societal breakdown mixed in.
