That was my point, you want to fight, go ahead. Again, I am out of this pee pee contest, I know what I know. You don't know what you don't know. Everyone agrees that the planet's getting warmer. The debate is about whether human activity in one of the causes. Can you explain why Mars is getting warmer at the same rate Earth is getting warmer? Do your own home work. No I can't explain it. But, I'd like you to tell me how it relates to the article about poison ivy and carbon dioxide. Thank you.- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - So I just saw a report on the super ivy. The reporter asked if the expert (guy with car painted like ivy, website,marketing... ) if global warming caused the super ivy. He said yes, that, er, um, ahhh, milder winters, were causing the super ivy growth, as well as a (assume genetic) change in the ivy to produce more potent oil too! So here I am some 60 miles from the shore, looking at the new "super ivy" in my back yard, caused by the new milder winters (what is warming, one degree?) and wondering why I did not have super ivy on the shoreline for the last 20 years as it is usually about 10 degrees warmer at my other house, most of the time... Hummmmm... Three questions, the answer to which may improve this discussion: 1) Are you a gardener? I don't mean you stuck a shrub in the ground two years ago, and that's about it. Hell no - I farm hay and trees. :) 2) If you answer "yes" to #1, how long have you been a gardener? Pansy. 3) How old are you? What the hell does that have to do with anything? I'm not asking you.- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Well, I am 50. I have been keeping close to an acre landscaped for over 20 years. I grew up in the Northeast, playing in the woods in a very rural area, at the time. I have dabbled in flowers and vegetables most of my life, I was pulling poison ivy out of the trees of the Hillstead Museum property as a child back in 68, a life scout who specalized in outdoor woodsmanship such as tracking, survival, mapping, and such. Is that good enough or do I need a degree to know about poison ivy? Then, it seems odd that you are having difficulty understanding how one person's observations of a plant, in one location, can be so different from yours. You can move an ornamental plant 5 feet closer to a wall which reflects light and heat, and the plant will behave in a totally different way than it did in its previous location, after taking transplanting issues into account.- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Sure I have, but what does that have to do with a mythical strain of super PI caused by GW? I thought you said you were a gardener. How do you know it's a "strain", rather than a plant responding to different growing conditions? Hint: Most poison ivy reproduces vegetatively. You know what that means, right?- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Ah, I am a gardener, more of an outdoorsman, but alas, not a schooled botanist so I guess my opinion is probably moot when it comes to PI or GW for that matter. Although, I am still interested in hearing your qualifications in these areas, I am always willing to learn and even change my mind. What generic types of qualifications would you like to see?- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Well, you could start by answering the series of qualifying questions you asked me. Then you could explain to me what level of education, experience, or general knowledge a person must have to have what you would consider a legitimate opinion on these subjects, or do they simply have to agree with you to qualify? ;) - High school biology, enough to understand the difference between two different "strains", and two genetically identical plants behaving differently for reasons related to growing conditions. Did you finish high school? - Enough curiosity about plants to read a few books per year, and I don't mean the Sunset books at Home Depot, like "Shrubs for Morons". - Secret decoder ring, which I'm sure you don't have- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - OK Joe, I get it. You bring nothing more than a mildly educated opinion just like me, so the fun is over, good night Joe, hope you catch that frekin' windmill soon ;) 35 years of reading about a subject is "mildly educated"? What is a "strain"? And, did you read the article about which this entire discussion revolves?- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - 35 Years of reading huh? I got 45 living, playing, and making my living outdoors so I still think I probably know as much about poison ivy as you do. Maybe more. Yer book lernin' ain't **** compared to real experience... But, what is a "strain"? You claimed something about a "strain". Basically, you're saying that when winter comes and bears hibernate, they become different "strains". |
