None will even cast a shadow on their ground. Not because the garden is so big: I always compare it to a towel. It&#39;s a terraced house, for god&#39;s sake!<br/><br/>But &#34;the shadow&#34; and &#34;all those roots!&#34;.<br/><br/>All I want is a tempered summer heat and some green instead of the grey, which surrounds us. Apparently - my conclusion from looking around me in my neighbourhood - this is too much for most.<br/><br/>BTW our region has hardly any woods. But we are on about 20% of the usual precipitation for last winter. My 5 trees will not change the microclimate. And yet: when will we learn that only plenty of trees will give us bearable summers?<br/><br/>#climatecrisis #gardening 2025-04-30T17:23:46Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqswzjj5mks2p2h97azhdqaekwjcpcf92je2t9elzj6fhzzptl5v56szyplc9sg9uu0tsscwhg5rp64m3xfhh8q98rflc4wg0jhw8fcwnkltxete0pf Woaa. Time to wake up, Chris!<br/><br/>I started with #FediScience to do more #scicomm, particularly internal Scicomm on various topics.<br/><br/>And now, more and more governments in the West fall victim to right-wing populist or outright fascist parties. In turn, scientists and funding of our work falls victim to budget cuts.<br/><br/>I feel humbled that so many people (well, my account is still small, compared to &#34;real&#34; political ones) follow my posts. Really. I hope I will not disappoint.<br/><br/>And yet, these times call for being &#34;more political&#34;.<br/><br/>Forgive me. Science and technical posts will be written again. Promised. But totally without politics? That&#39;s something I cannot do. Not in the upcoming months.<br/><br/>PS Translation: That will mean a number of German- or Dutch-only posts and boosts, too. Like in the not so distant past, when our Dutch fellows needed support against their &#34;lovely&#34; government. A chapter, which is not closed. The least I can do is to boost the occasional call for action or offer signing an endorsement, as I am neither based in the Netherlands nor the US for that matter. Not any more.<br/><br/>Yet, perhaps the German community might need all the support from abroad, very soon?! I sure hope, that this will not be the case ... 2025-02-03T18:38:07Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsvy83fl0lf40v3vd34t8xx7u2tmcavkf7k5c0n74phnfsm9natueszyplc9sg9uu0tsscwhg5rp64m3xfhh8q98rflc4wg0jhw8fcwnkltxgw3uda In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsf25pmraz8s7zkx523lmdtsupthyh283d0x7at50mwk4phvu4u42cv8td59'>nevent1q…td59</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>See? That is the difference you and me and many more are aware of. Yet, no one wants to be gullible.
