Poison ivy may grow more virulent
The Hartford Courant
Poison ivy of the future may be a lot worse. Researchers have monitored
the growth of poison ivy vines in today's atmospheric conditions and in
conditions with elevated carbon dioxide concentrations, which global
warming is expected to produce by midcentury. Not only did the elevated
carbon dioxide boost poison ivy growth, but it also increased the most
toxic form of urushiol, the plant chemical that causes the itchy rash in
humans. The findings should interest a lot of people because a separate
U.S. Forest Service study found that up to 85 percent of humans are
susceptible to poison ivy.
If it is the Hartford Courant, you can bet they have nothing more than
a political agenda driving 90% of the stories they print. In a recent
survey, the HC was found to be the second most biased news paper in
the country. All they really do is copy the NYT stories and add a
little political propoganda to keep it lively. There is little news
worth reading there. Sorry Harry, the HC is little more than a PR firm
for the Democratic Party.

Please teach me about the political agenda you see in a story about poison
ivy.- Hide quoted text -

Well, if it is the HC, I would expect the Global Warming aspect would
be exagerated, maybey even faked. I never said anything about Fox
news, I did cite a study done by some college in Cali. I forget which
one. If you don't see the HC as biased, you either don't want to know,
or you are beyond reasonable comprehension, or you have not read the
paper. I live in CT, have for 50 years.

Uh-huh. You saw a study. And the study was conducted by?

BTW, I've read the Courant. I was born in Connecticut, grew up there and
for a while worked for The AP in that state.
