A virus in my bamboo

Post by Iowaboo »

A destructive virus has been identified in my bamboo. I looked all over the internet and have identified this virus as the dreaded sage green virus. It can damage its host quickly once introduced.
It can go from this

to this in a matter of days

Interestingly enough, there are known ways to keep this from happening.

Naw he can stay where he is and build a coal burning power station and help the "global warming" along and the virus will go away in about 50 to 100 years.

If you look at a map of temperature anomalies for the Earth this year, most places were on average above normal. The major exception for this was the Midwestern United States. It will be interesting to see what happens this winter due to the strengthening El Nino.

Five years to have the Arctic ice free during the Summer is looking more and more likely.

The legal issues that will arise when the undead walk the earth are legion, and addressing them all is well beyond what could reasonably be accomplished in this brief Essay. Indeed, a complete treatment of the tax issues alone would require several volumes.

Blasted! while climate change is causing global warming in some areas, it creates an ice age in another. Everything equalizes! Give me your warmth!

Don't worry Lance El Nino is giving us southern folk the second half of it's double wammy later this week. I got a possible three nights of freeze and am expecting to loose a lot of bamboo and and palms. Thankfully the long range forcast is for La Nina to be back in control by summer. Hotter and drier are eisier to deal with.
