  1. i didnt get a chance to take a picture of today's progress while it was still light!

    look how cute the greenhouse is in the dark!! 🥰

    working on the plastic sheeting tomorrow!

  6. Do Sheets Really Protect Plants From Frost?

    Excerpt: "Do Sheets Protect Plants From Freezing?

    "Yes, sheets can help prevent frost damage. Generally, you should use breathable fabric that won't trap moisture or overheat, which is why old sheets or comforters can work in a pinch (and why plastic coverings aren't recommended). Thicker, heavier sheets provide more protection than thin ones, but you can always double them.

    "Fabric covers do have their limits. The fabric is less likely to prevent damage once the temperature drops below 28 degrees Fahrenheit ( -2.2°C). To protect plants from extreme temperatures throughout the winter, use a more effective method like a #ColdFrame, #HoopTunnel, or #greenhouse."

  11. Paul Beckwith, a climate science educator, goes through James Hansen's recent warnings about a coming "Super El Niño".

    This video (24:48) assumes a small amount of background in math and science, enough to read time/temperature graphs, but is generally quite accessible in its explanations. He walks through a lot of good stuff like how the El Niño / La Niña cycle works, what some of the "forcings" are that are driving some of these things, why things like aerosols matter, what different models show, what the consensus predictions have been and why Hansen's predicting something substantively stronger.

    It's a pretty worrisome set of things, but Hansen has been an important voice in the climate conversation, and I think Beckwith's presentation is pretty level—trying to just walk through the information dispassionately in a way that can help you understand the science part.

  12. A climate battery is a sustainable heating and cooling system that uses forced air and low-temperature geothermal energy. It circulates air through underground tubes, regulating temperature and humidity. Acting as a "heat bank," it stores heat from warm air and releases it as needed, reducing HVAC energy demands.

  13. I'm old enough to remember this -- and it stuck with me! Conditions for life on planets is such a rare thing -- I don't understand why we are deliberating messing with that! F-ing #Corporatocracy and #Crapitalism! Consume, pollute, and to hell with the consequences, eh? Not a good way to do things! (Talk about sh*tting where you live!)

    #CarlSagan Warns Congress about #ClimateChange (1985)

    November 18, 2021

    "Without climate change, we couldn’t inhabit the #Earth as we do today. The #greenhouse effect, by which gases in a planet’s atmosphere increase the heat of that planet’s surface, 'makes life on Earth possible.' So says Carl Sagan in the video above. He adds that without it, the temperature would be about 30 degrees centigrade cooler: 'That’s well below the freezing point of water everywhere on the planet. The oceans would be solid.' A little of the climate change induced by the greenhouse effect, then, is a good thing, but 'here we are pouring enormous quantities of CO2 and these other gases into the atmosphere every year, with hardly any concern about its long-term and global consequences.'

    "It’s fair to say that the level of concern has increased since Sagan spoke these words in 1985, when 'climate change' wasn’t yet a household term. But even then, his audience was Congress, and his fifteen-minute address, preserved by C‑SPAN, remains a succinct and persuasive case for more research into the phenomenon as well as strategies and action to mitigate it.

    "What audience would expect less from Sagan, who just five years earlier had hosted the hit PBS television series Cosmos, based on his book of the same name. Its broadcast made contagious his enthusiasm for scientific inquiry in general and the nature of the planets in particular. Who could forget, for example, his introduction to the 'thoroughly nasty place' that is Venus, research into whose atmosphere Sagan had conducted in the early 1960s?

    "#Venus is 'the nearest planet — a planet of about the same mass, radius, density, as the Earth,' Sagan tells Congress, but it has a 'surface temperature about 470 degrees centigrade, 900 Fahrenheit.' The reason? 'A massive #GreenhouseEffect in which #CarbonDioxide plays the major role.' As for our planet, estimates then held that, without changes in the rates of fossil fuel-burning and 'infrared-absorbing' gases released into the atmosphere, there will be 'a several-centigrade-degree temperature increase' on average 'by the middle to the end of the next century.' Given the potential effects of such a rise, 'if we don’t do the right thing now, there are very serious problems that our children and grandchildren will have to face.' It’s impossible to know how many listeners these words convinced at the time, though they certainly seem to have stuck with a young senator in the room by the name of #AlGore."
