I don't subscribe to the flat earth, hollow earth, climate change, conspiracies. The earth has always cooled and warmed. According to Live Science, urban areas cover only 3% of the earth. The climate change conspiracy is only a method for the government to impose a carbon tax, and restrict and lessen the flow of natural resources, so they can implement the "Great Change over."

100% agree. Plant life needs co2 to live just as we need oxygen to live. Think of how many 100's of thousands of acres, say just in the metroplex, have been clear cut and replaced with homes and concrete. Far side of Cleburne and watching as hundreds of acres of growing fields are bull dozed and 1000's of McMansions going up all over it, so that Jack & Diane can live within spitting distance of their neighbor. But we as a society have this grandiose ideology to keep up with the Jones and keep on building, thus depleting the resources that will greatly help reduce the global warming problem. We're just shooting ourselves in our own feet in spite of ourselves.

Don’t know if this EPA statement is true,but is if it is then mowing our yard creates a lot of air pollution.


Last lawnmower I had lasted 15 years, so it probably was real efficient at burning fuel and exhaust.


“The EPA states that using a typical gas-powered lawn mower produces as much volatile organic compounds and nitrogen oxide — a powerful greenhouse gas — as driving 11 average new cars over the same timeframe. In total, according to the agency, lawn mowers account for 5% of American (non-climate) air pollution. On top of that, many lawns are cut by a gardener who visits regularly, burning gasoline on the way there and back.”

Read the history of Earth.
It's arrogant and laughable to believe that we are going to effect the weather.


It may be changing, because........that's what weather does.

California believes it. I think all of the equipment has to be electric at some point in the near future

Back in the mid 60's while stationed in Camp Pendleton,Calif., I dated a girl from San Clemente. Homes were built on the hill sides and they didn't have much of a grass filled yard. They did make their yard look like the desert! Rocks,dirt,and cactus type plants etc. Looked pretty cool to me. What we don't hear anything about is the fact that All active volcano's on Earth produce more CO2 that man has ever created.

I have enough deer poop in my yard to make it look like I am running sheep. Don't need fertilizer cuz the weeds will grow even bigger.

Or about one billionth of Kerry's private jet on one trip to Iran.

What do you mean by “dated”?

concrete and asphalt are heat sinks, store a lot of heat this time of yr. since the nights don't cool off much.
same with a fresh plowed field, all that dark dirt is a big heat sink.

Most of phoenix/Scottsdale and Tucson are like that

yep, wonder how much lawn service is gonna go up with all those fancy 80v zero turns.

they will have to carry enough to get thru the day, no stop n charge when ya be workin!

only place I remember seeing grass around tucson was goin south to nogales, couple of retirement/golf course additions down that way had postage stamp size yards.

Speaking of great fertilizer.

so keeping our personal co2 to o2 conversion machine healthy and looking good is causing global warming huh... maybe these morons would do the planet a favor and put a bag over their head to stop venting their co2 into the atmosphere...( Disclaimer, this post was meant solely as humor and is not suggesting any snowflake actually put a bag on their head to help stop global stupidity )
