Front Yard Garden

My personal climate change monitor!



I took this video in the afternoon of December 18, 2022, two days before the start of winter, and the ash tree in my front yard in Fullerton, CA still has not lost all its leaves. The tree was planted in 1963 and when we first moved into this house several decades ago, this tree would be completely bare by the beginning of November. Now it’s never completely bare of leaves, as the old ones fall off, new ones start budding out. That should give you an idea of how much the average temperature has risen here in southern California in the intervening decades.

  1. So glad to see someone from your generation speaking about this and making it known! Thank you.🙏

  2. Honest question from someone I assume is most likely across the political aisle from me .
    Do u truly feel like since we started all the hot button fossil fuels and so forth etc , that we have enough data to show one way or another ?
    On a planet that’s 4.543 billion years old?
    1880 coal was used to make electric for first time , not mass used yet
    And early 1910-20 cars hit big
    ( gas emissions)

  3. I get that the trees are green longer. What does that do for the co2 uptake across the forests and grasslands?

    Of rising temperatures means plants are growing longer and faster, perhaps this is a negative feedback loop for limiting co2 levels?

  4. amazing the climate skeptics are still going just changing their nonsense arguments. im impressed how cool headed you are with these morons
