Stop and thank the Roses

Seems like flowers are a lot more important than as tools to appease an angry woman. I don't really know how to post these things and make 'em look all professional, but you can read the article yourself.

That is a really cool article! I never knew flowers had so much to do with the weather. Makes sense though.

Thanks for that bit of info 25cents.

I had no idea flowers would have such an impact on our climate. But as suggested in the article, that without flowers the world would be a dryer place, would that equation work out the other way around as well?

I mean, the more sweaty flowers there are, the more moisture goes up in the air. If not controlled we might drown in 100% humidity levels.....
(Does 100% air humidity actually exist or is that called "under water"??)

I think this should be investigated and a comity should form some kind of monitoring system to find (and maintain) the ultimate balance in the amount of flowers (and in which locations) so it benefits this planet and it's inhabitants the most!!!

We will call it The World Flower Comity......( I'm drifting off again aren't I?)

But anyway thanks for sharing this.

Peace

Edit to remove all those annoying edit lines....

Edit: never mind the 100% air humidity question. I figured it out thanks to Wiki. Apparently if we let flowers take over this planet it will get extremely foggy....
