yeah better to have dry dirt washing away from erosion, contributing to foundation issues, why have houses and lawns at all, let’s just live in caves like the Taliban, that’s the ticket! sarc

All the lazy husbands will cheer this dubious climate kook study.

Author should study the carbon cycle and botany a little better. Rapidly growing grasses are by far net producers of oxygen versus CO2. At night they are net emitters of CO2 as the cells continue respiration, but overall they are one of the best planetary sources of O2 Plants fix atmospheric CO2 into hydrocarbons during photosynthesis. So yes they 'clean' the air. But ... When plant material rots a good bit of methane is produced which is far more active greenhouse gas than CO2. Only water VAPOR (not clouds) is a greater net contributor to the greenhouse effect (which by the way does not manifest at the surface but rather much higher in the atmosphere) From a botanical standpoint an old growth forest produces an order of magnitude more methane (decay and termites) and CO2 than any manicured grass lawn. I won't contest the bit about what poorly maintained Indian gas lawn mowers do ✌️

Has anybody considered the emissions of millions of unregulated leaf-blowers? I thought not, since it is the tool of choice for a protected group of imported laborers. What ever became of hiring the kid down the street to rake leaves?

I remember reading back around the time Jimmy Carter took office that manicured lawns contribute to global cooling and are helping to bring about the onset of the next Ice Age.

I got to read this article... I got to go to 'BooksAMillion' to see if I can get the 'Journal of Environmental Mismanagement' magazine there.
I bet it is published by the 'United States Communist Party'.

We need an executive order to ban golf courses.
I expect to hear this in the SOTU on Tuesday.

I thought that smell coming my pile of grass clippings was nitrogen. Nitrogen, by the way, comprises something like 75% of our atmosphere whereas CO2 only comprises something like 1%.

Manicured lawns contribute to global warming by producing greenhouse gases Good, the CO2 makes the grass grow better.

Take out the word grass and put in the word Prius and you have the same result.

These lunatics hate anything that makes life more pleasant.
When I first moved (and promptly left) to North Carolina a few years ago, it was July. I had a pretty large yard and coming from Arizona I was loving the grass. The front yard was doing OK but I, pretty quickly, had the back yard turning to sand as it was over 100 degrees for about a week.
I was out there watering like a maniac. Thinking, "Hey, you can pretty much wring the water out of the air here"
So, I get my first water bill. It was about $500. I am thinking, "Must be an error because I have never had a water bill over $60 in Arizona grass or no grass and with pools"
I call the city and she gives me an attitude. Says to me, "You want all that green grass, well green grass is expensive. That bill is correct"
Leftists, envy, misery -- it all goes together to build places like North Korea. Not much grass there.
