LOL !
I guess we will get heatstroke from the higher temperatures and see a mirage that we are a great military power.
From a lecture to the local botany club:
Many flowers shoot pollen up into the air to be carried by the breeze until they find another flower to pollinate.
But sometimes there is no breeze. The pollen shoots straight up into the air and falls back onto the original plant. This is called self-pollination and tends to make the flowers go crazy.
But we are all going to starve because climate change is killing plant life?
Does not compute.
To what are you referencing? I don’t see that in the article.
Does this make hair grow only on palms, or are other trees affected as well?
I live in San Antonio. For the first 46 years in New York and New Jersey, nothing. I come to San Antonio and within a year I am miserable. They tell me it is from the cedar outside of Kerville. My solution, turn Kerville into a big mall with parking lot.
Why haven’t they blamed hillary’s behavior on ‘climate change’ yet?
I’ve lived in rural areas with cedar-which is actually Ashe juniper-most of my life, so I’ve got good immunity. I live in the middle of it now, with quite a few large trees on the property. I’m only bothered by cedar/juniper pollen at the height of the season-and not all that badly-I use a homeopathic product called Texas Allergy Relief-it is available at health food stores out here-in Kerrville, Boerne, etc-don’t know about SA.
You should try it-all natural, no side effects, etc-and it doesn’t become less effective with time, like even the OTC stuff does-it might help you.
There are plenty of cedar/juniper trees as close to you as most of N. Bexar County-they are part of the woods and ecosystems in this entire part of the state...
People in places like Kerrville and rural areas don’t want more malls and we are used to the pollen from trees-that is why we live where there are restrictions on development...
I lived in Dallas decades ago. Allergies were bad, but we were taken aback when our young daughter came home and said, “How come all the other kids are getting speech therapy and I’m not?” The kids ears were so plugged from allergies that they couldn’t hear properly. I remember listening to one little girl, and her voice sounded as if she was talking underwater, which is presumably what she heard all the time. When allergies worsened in our family, we grabbed our kids and ran for Arizona, so they could have a chance of growing up without surgically-implanted “ear tubes”.
Allergies were bad in Dallas, but my colleagues who took a stint at the plant in Austin found it much worse. They also complained that Austin’s effect on their immune system persisted for years even after they moved back to Dallas.
Though staged, that exploding cedar tree tells it all.
I can’t speak from experience, having lived in the middle of cedar/juniper from birth, but I’ve always read and heard that the best remedy for allergies is to increase your exposure over time-that is what homeopathic remedies do-and it works.
I think adverse effects on the immune system that persist even after leaving Austin are caused by exposure to Austin’s liberalism rather than the pollen...
I’ll take Chem trails for $500 Alex.
I think it’s a lot to do with the hand sanitizer people smear all over themselves every five minutes.
