"Hardcore Is Not For Everybody": This Instagram Account Collects Decor Items That Capture The Essence Of Bad Taste (35 Pics)

Half of the homes on the plains of the US look like this as they are surrounded by trees where the wind always blows. In the winter those trees keep the 12 foot drifts from blocking your front door. In the spring they choke the dirt thrown up from every farmer plowing so your whole home isn't covered in a layer of dust. In the summer when the ground around the home is radiating the heat back at you, they provide shade and as well as transpiration cooling. The act of photosynthesis as the trees suck water up the branches and release it into the air lowers the temperature of your home several degrees. Most importantly, until you've spent time somewhere where the wind blows incessantly for months at a time, you can't really comprehend how much it destroys your soul because you never get quiet. Those trees save marriages by providing a temporary reprieve.

This Is What Climate Change Looks Like: 50 Photos From Our #ClimateChange2020 Competition
This Is What Climate Change Looks Like: 50 Photos From Our #ClimateChange2020 Competition

The question "As the Earth continues to heat up, could this be a common sight?" reveals an ignorance of basic Earth processes that is widespread among proponents of the 'Anthropogenic-driven global warming crisis' argument. The only relationship between volcanic lava flows and climate change is that eruptions do far more damage to the atmosphere than humans could ever hope to. Examples? Krakatoa, Mount Pinatubo, El Chichon, and even Thera (Santorini, Greece) -- which lead to the myth of Atlantis -- are just a few of the volcanoes that have caused rapid and significant cooling and/or warming that eclipse the relatively puny input by humans by orders of magnitude. Here's a list: https://www.livescience.com/30507-volcanoes-biggest-history.html So, some great photos in this Bored Panda entry, but the science is poor at best. maybe do some more research next time before posting nonsense to the web, where other un-informed folks might read and start to believe such nonsense. Really.
