The article isn't that interesting. But the picture is astonishing.
You don't want to be downwind
of a pollen explosion like the one
this cedar tree set forth.

I feel like a dumb ######.
Here I thought everything was fine because I went outside and it was just like any other summer day I’ve experienced for the past 48 years.

That’s not a pollen explosion.
That is a coy fully grown mountain troll sneezing.

I have lived most of my life surrounded by Cedars in the foothills of Western Washington, and have never once seen one shake like that. What did they do to cause that (since they obviously knew it was going to happen and set up the camera, I am assuming it was staged, and none of the trees around it are even moving). Most likely that represented all the pollen the Cedar had for the season being released in one fell swoop, which is incredible to look at, but not how it naturally happens, at least that I have seen.

Yeah, no. That’s obviously contrived. Someone stood under that tree and shook it.
I will say that once, years ago on a very windy day in Western MA, I could see clouds of pollen streaming past, but that was a one-time event that I never saw replicated.
To: sparklite2
I have always had allergies and the climate has always changed. Warmer, cooler, warmer cooler!
Oh yeah, and I have always driven an SUV!

I have seen a good wind blow pollen off evergreens in clouds like this. That being said, this tree was being shaken.

Mine keeps starting later every year for the past 15 years or so. It seems to move up a day each year. I used to know it was coming in early to mid August and now it doesn’t start until the very end of August. It’s also been getting milder every year.

Saw a moron on tv last night who said the Italian earthquake was caused by climate change.

I’ve been taking Claritin for many years to fight allergic reaction and NasalCort for the last few years to fight congestion. Between the two, I have achieved normality!!!

My allergies are worse than they’ve ever been... but I say that every year on the first full-on allergy attack which just happened today. ;-)

I live in NC and each spring everything is covered in Pollen for weeks as those nasty trees embark on their yearly orgy:-)

THE TRUE REASON is that female trees drop too many seeds, some can be huge and quite a chore to cleanup, those, most nursery's are stocked with male trees which produce the pollen to fertilize the female trees. Most cities now plant only male trees for this reason as well. It's a man made problem alright, though it has nothing to do with the fake science theory of global warming.
In fact, they recently had to raise the scale of pollen counts because we were literally "off the scale", so yes, pollen is much higher today.

So, global warming is good for plant proliferation... Who knew?
Obviously liberals don't.
