Mosquitos are a major problem near me this year especially we have a pond and a river and a large lake all within 1000 ft or less of where I live so we get lots of mosquitos anyway this year I started researching what eats adult and larval mosquitos and am working on figuring out a good strategy for reducing the population using native plants, and the predators they will be able to attract and support as well as fish for our pond that will help manage them and other ways of attracting and supporting predators of the mosquitoes hopefully by building a more robust ecosystem in the immediate area their populations will reduce over time and I won’t get eaten alive walking near the woods and waterways.
What an incredible presentation! I learned so much and have ordered yellow lightbulbs midpoint. I’m already doing quite a few of these things but excited to try more solutions.
Thank you for making this presentation available on RU-vid. It was so much fun to hear Tom interpret the various photos and this is a great reinforcement for his books and other videos. The more of these presentations I watch, the more the information sinks in and stays with me. I enjoy walking through the forest and attempting to apply Tom's information.
I'm late to the party here, but I am really enjoying this video. I was especially interested in the assessment of the trees taken down in the 2019 Cape Cod tornados. The area where I live was hit hard; there are still a number of trees down on the public land behind my house and they were uprooted/knocked down. Is that unusual? I have photos of the downed trees if it's helpful (or interesting)- please feel free to reach out if you would like to see them or if you have any comments or questions. Thank you for the fascinating presentation!
Hello! Wonderful and informative, thank you! I was unable to see the name of the larger field guide used for this walk. Would you please list both of the guides used? We live in Raleigh NC.
1) By reflecting away 30% of ISR the albedo, which would not exist w/o the atmosphere, makes the earth cooler than it would be without the atmosphere like that reflective panel set on the dash. Remove the atmosphere/GHGs and the earth becomes much like the moon, a 0.1 albedo, 20% more kJ/h, hot^3 on the lit side, cold^3 on the dark. Nikolov, Kramm (U of AK) and UCLA Diviner mission all tacitly agree. 2) the GHG up/down welling, “trapping”/”back” radiating, 100 % efficient, perpetual warming loop requires "extra" energy which it gets from 3) the terrestrial surface radiating that "extra" energy as a near ideal .95 emissivity black body which 4) it cannot do because of the non-radiative heat transfer processes of the contiguous atmospheric molecules. 1+2+3+4 = 0 Greenhouse Effect + 0 Greenhouse gas warming + 0 man caused climate change. All science backed up by experiment, the gold standard of classical science. www.linkedin.com/posts/nicholas-schroeder-55934820_climatechange-greenhouse-co2-activity-6749812735246254080-bc6K
We should make all the politicians live on the coast, closest real estate to the ocean and are not allowed to move until they show significant effort to combat CO2. On the surface they would love this idea and they don't believe its an issue so if could actually be win win lol. All kidding aside, great presentation by Dr. Poinar. You're a Rock Star! At this rate we will go the way of the ancients (aka the Alantians per say).
With two family members infected and severely disabled, where are we able to find advocacy and grant support? Presently, we are facing enormous economic hardship. Due to sheer disbelief of uneducated others around us, we are actually facing being homeless within a few months.
What if the water that makes it to the base of the ice sheet refreezes creating a solid dome for the water then to make the layers above it create insulated pockets for glacial water to flow more easily throughout the ice sheet? 🤔
My English class is forced to read his book "A Series of Short Sentences on Writing" or something along those lines. That's all I have to say. Carry on.
Excellent talk thank you. I would like to work with Carey Institute with regard to water body restoration. Please see www.lake-savers.com. Currently I am an Earth Science and Biology, Marine Biology and Accelerated Science Teacher at Webutuck High School (just down the road). I have a proposal to restore Rudd Pond in review now from RFP from NYS Parks.. I would like to collaborate or to become a teaching professional with The Carey Institute for Ecological Studies I am available to discuss teaching, learning and restoration projects with and through The Carey Institute if you would like to discuss further. We need natural working and proven means through which we can reverse and restore the damages done to our fresh water bodies.
Ya know what? If they turned off HAARP off for a week or two, Yellowstone might settle down for a bit since we really don't underdtand how they work together.
