I thought they couldn't catch fire Oo .

[fohat.digs]

I thought they couldn't catch fire

Well, they are wood. The concept is that they have really thick bark so that fires can burn around them and scorch the first few layers, but the bark is so thick that it doesn't go deep enough to get into the live part and really hurt them. And of course they are so tall that the fire can sweep through the area but only get part way up their height.

Unfortunately now, after years (decades?) of drought, the bark is probably drier farther in and so more likely to burn deep, as well as the trees are just being stressed in general.

Happened earlier in the year as well and some did burn.

Maybe I remembered incorrectly but from my visit to Sequoia NP I remember that the trees are fire-resistant. They're also really soft and the wood basically just falls apart into loose fibres. From what I recollect this was given as the reason for them never being cut down because the wood can't be used to create fire or any sort of furniture. In other words the wood is completely useless to humans and that's why they were never cut down.

Ha Ha Ha !

Your memory may be fine but you were probably fed extravagant disinformation.

"resistant" does not mean "no way"

The wood is exceptionally beautiful and desirable, and those forests were logged relentlessly in previous centuries.
National Parks were created by Theodore Roosevelt to safeguard what was left of our most valuable chunks of nature from exploitation.

For structure Redwood is pretty useless (too soft), we do use it for fencing though.

Redwood, Cedar and Teak are all resistant to weather.

[fohat.digs]

Redwood, Cedar and Teak are all resistant to weather.

Redwood and Cedar are softwoods, while the tropical hardwoods are incredibly dense and many will sink if put in water. Tropical hardwoods also have quite a bit more silica in them as well as natural oils.

Since trees take up nutrients through their root systems, most all of the chemicals that they produce are, in the end, water-soluble. Exposed to nature, their natural resistance to those inevitable attacking organisms will eventually be leached out of them. Their structure determines how quickly water can move through them to carry away their natural defenses, and the chemistry of the resistance is determined by species and soil.

That process can vary from months to decades.

Very interesting. I looked up some pictures and it seems like you're right. It's the most expensive wood in the world, even. Very beautiful.

My mum once asked me what I'd want to become if I couldn't have had an advanced/academic education; on some reflection, I figured I'd want to be a woodworker. It's a really nice and beautiful material to work with, and there's so much that you can do with it.

Meh, take it from a carpenter of over 20 years. The luster wears really quick even just work in a woodshop or cabinetry shop. Definitely very cool interesting stuff to learn that has real world applications beyond just making your paycheck. Although the business here in the US is a meat grinder from being a lowly carpenter on a fly by night crew to being a true artisan in your field. I've been all over the carpentry industry & being honest it's probably cut more than a few years off my life in more ways than one. It's one of those occupations that gets glamorized cause it's a "man's man thing to do" & don't get me wrong I couldn't see myself doing anything else, but you gotta be prepared to get your ass kicked physically & mentally in the field which many are not.

Haha thanks mate, that's a fair point I'm sure, but I maintain a chemical laboratory - that's not the healthiest occupation either xD .

Feels like accuweather is lying to people,  tp4's measurements around the house are higher than reports for the whole of june, and so far in july as well.

looks like they took a page from the 5aud1s , it's never hot enough to take a day off for s1ave 1ab0res.

A lot of places get their numbers from people with home weather stations in their yard.
How it's mounted and where in the yard can make a decent difference and a LOT of them are mounted wrong (for convenience). Even some of the more official stations are positioned wrong.

But also... How accurate is your thermometer and thermostat?
I have two digital thermometers (with humidity)  from the same package and they're off by several degrees temp and humidity to each other. Home thermostats, digital or mechanical are not much better.

[tp4tissue]

Possible,  but also /Conspiracy !! accuweather has military contracts.

[fohat.digs]

I have been looking at this thread for days and I can't stand it any more.

What are the actual words that the gibberish title is supposed to be saying?

[tp4tissue]

s'gon'be'great.

So.....  accuweather is sayn'    we gon' have record,  then 3 days later m0ar record..

yeh-bois, speed run

they're saying last weekend's greenland ice melt alone would cover west virginia under a foot of water.

Eat ur veggies guys..  Soon most of us may not be eating anything at all..

Beautiful photo of amazing tree. Plus I can see 5 parasites...

[fohat.digs]

Beautiful photo of amazing tree.

I would say "heartbreaking" rather than beautiful.

Anybody who says that "size doesn't matter" has not seen that saw.

Is there a heet wave ? can't even tell no more.. just h0t..

[tp4tissue]

Kturkay,  they voted Drumph, 62% of votes.

Flash fl00d, 15 dead, likely to double as counts emerge.

Floyd county, (72%) Drumph
Breathitt County, (75%) Drumph
Knott County,  (76%) Drumph
Garrard County, (78%) Drumph

Resident quoted saying: "we'll make it, we always do with god's hallp."

Is there a heet wave ?

Mos' def'

I realized that I had felt relief upon hearing today's weather forecast for 85F/30C rather than the 95F/35C that we have been experiencing for the last couple of weeks.

Poland's second largest river polluted by Toxic Mercury Dumping.  Estimates it will take years for river ecosystem to recover.

Mercury is a neurotoxin,  Search, Minamata syndrome, a similar event named after an industrial dumping in Japan, which they attempted to cover up.. There's even a movie !

This is also the primary reason why YOU SHOULDN'T EAT FISH.  Mercury is cumulative and can not leave the body.  They can detect neuro damage if a person eats as little as 1 can of tuna a week.

Mercury bio-accumulates up the Marine food chain, the larger the fish, the worse it is, because mercury is roughly 100% persistent. If you drink water, it can go in and come out, Mercury goes in, NEVER OUT,  as the marine ecosystem soaks it up, the big fish such as Salmon, Tuna, Dolphins, Whales etc, have extremely toxic lvls of buildup.

Mega Draught hits Europe..

Speed running /Famine.     These rocks are insane.

They're similar to the Tsunami markers in japan, They mark the height of the flood, and tell you where not to build houses. These stones were also ignored, then the Tsunami Came.

snip.......Increases in temperature and rainfall, for instance, have expanded the range of mosquitoes and contributed to outbreaks of dengue fever, chikungunya and malaria. At the same time, heatwaves draw more people to water-related activities, leading to a rise in cases of waterborne illnesses, such as gastroenteritis. Storms, sea level rise and floods force people to move and have been implicated in outbreaks of Lassa fever, cholera and typhoid fever.

Climate threats have also made some pathogens more virulent or boosted their transmission. For example, high temperatures increase the survival and biting rates of mosquitoes carrying West Nile virus. Furthermore, these hazards weaken people’s ability to cope with infections through factors such as mental stress, lowered immunity and malnutrition.

Texas flooding,  3 months worth of rain all in 1 day.  They did their own research..  Texas Grid Str0gn'... climate change = h0ax

[fohat.digs]

climate change = h0ax

Think maybe Texas is about ready to start voting Democratic?
