puro putik sa marikina.

what hold soil = trees with deep soil root system. So not just any trees. Kailangan carefully chosen at pinag-aaralan like bagay sa area na yun.

trees sa bundok slows down downpour ng rain.

"careflly chosen... carefully chosen... ! these trees were already here when i was born!"
heh heh.

pinaguusapan ngayon yung alfresco dining dahil nga poorly ventilated ang indoor dining.

The problem kasi sa current setup ng aflresco sa pinas eh uncomfortable kasi hindi nagincorporate ng greeneries. Dapat meron puno malaki to cover the sun rays pag kakain or magpapasosy sa starbucks.

Walang kwenta yung tent at trapal. You need trees na strategically place para malaki macover na area.

Mali yung ginawa sa bonifacio global city kasi sun bathing mangyayari doon. Kung gusto ko magpa-araw to get vitamin D may oras para jan. Ang uncomfortable na tagaktak pawis tapos kumakain ng baby back ribs.

Sobrang kulang ng puno sa NCR.

sige lang puro buko at mangga. Walang kafuture-future pag puro laman-tiyan.

Trees make Rain - there's science now to prove it!

Trees make Rain – there is science now to prove it!

Yes, it’s true… scientists have evidence supporting the widespread perception that trees make rain, that growing more vegetation, we get more rain.[1]

On average, 40% or more of the precipitation over land originates from evaporation and the transpiration of water from plants.[2] Forests like the Amazon don’t merely grow in wet areas; they create and maintain the conditions in which they grow by increasing rainfall and reducing the length of the dry season.[3]

When vegetation gets cleared, wet seasons come later, and less water is available in the landscape for evaporation and transpiration, suppressing precipitation. [3][4]

For example, more rain used to fall on the western side of a 750 km long fence built to exclude rabbits in southwest Australia. Today, however, the land on the eastern side of the barrier gets higher rainfall. This is because, on the western side, most of the vegetation has since been removed for arable cropping.[5]

Growing more vegetation over large areas, we also increase the transportation of moisture inland – the Biotic Pump Theory.

Research demonstrates that for more than 60% of the tropical land surface, the air that has passed over extensive vegetation in the preceding few days produces at least twice as much rain as air that has passed over little vegetation. [6]

Large-scale deforestation reduces rainfall in some areas by up to 30%, and reliable rainfall in continental interiors of Africa, Australia and elsewhere, appears to depend on maintaining relatively intact and continuous forest cover from the coast.[7]

Transforming landscapes from forests to fields has at least as big an impact on regional climates as climate change.[8]

How to make Rain Happen!
It’s great to know that trees make rain, but trees are being cleared at a faster rate than any time in history! How can we possibly reverse this? How can we get it to rain more in our regions?

Trees make Rain - there's science now to prove it!

it's not as new as one would assume.
the ideas have been circulating among scientific circles, since over ten years ago...

Congrats kags, may natutunan ka na naman na luma

[kagalingan]

eh ako kasi based on gut feel not powerpoint.

Madami nga sa inyo dito nabola ng german manipulated desel na malinis daw. Bilib na bilib pa kayo hahahaha!!!!

Ako ilong lang sabi ko = "haaaay bolahan paano naging malinis desel"

but it's understandable to be huli sa balita, for a layman.
while the science and ideas behind it may have been circulating among the knowledgeables for a long time,
it takes many years for the news to reach the man on the street's liteerature.

to wit,
it is common knowledge, that the latest medical information we read from the latest textbooks, may be at least ten years old.
the scientific literature supporting these pearls of textbook knowledge, were written years ago.
it took the authors several years to consolidate them and put them in the textbooks.

"gut feel" ?
everyone knows, what our guts contain.
clue: "when you ship it (i.e., export as fertilizer), you ship high in transit."

Diesel is now better than gas

Is Diesel Cleaner than Gasoline and If So, What Makes Diesel Cleaner?

In other words, while diesel engines produce more carbon dioxide per gallon, per mile a diesel engine produces between 10 and 20 percent less carbon dioxide than a gasoline engine. Simple, gasoline engines produce more carbon dioxide than diesel engines, considerably more.

By almost no measure is gasoline cleaner than gasoline. Gasoline engines produce more carbon dioxide than diesel engines. Gasoline produces far more hydrocarbon emissions both when combusted and over the course of its life-cycle. It produces ultrafine particulate matter because of the octane boosting additives it contains. And, gasoline produces large quantities of carbon monoxide. Diesel produces almost none.

Diesel, by every measure except nitrogen oxides, is a cleaner fuel than gasoline.

Hmmm...
