Yup, we use tons of fertilizer on crops to replace what is removed and then eaten and then throw away the fertilizer in our waste materials and pay in fact to try and remediate them.  we can get nitrogen from the air, but phosphorus and potassium are another story.

It has been below freezing for most of Jan/Feb it is 8 deg right now had at least 3'' more inches yesterday on top of the 2" the nite before.Albeit light/fluffy the skiers and Ice Fisherman are having a blast.The snow has been on the ground since just after new yrs and hasn't melted even though it climbed to 40 deg one day and rained I can think of 2-3 days it's gotten over 30 in the last 2 weeks.Thankfully there's no wind or it'd be below zero.Cold doesn't bother me it's the sno making sure you get your aerobics shoveling

Man that's cold.  Glad you don't mind it though.  As always, it takes all kinds!

The wind bothered me as much as the cold.  I don't miss it, at all.

Our heat wave has subsided. Only a high of 76 today and it'll cool off to the 60s later in the week. Brrrrrrr.....

I'm fine with our winters here, in general, it gets cold enough to know it's winter, and then turns nice for a few days.  It's chilly right now, 39°F.

But sunny.

Huh.  I don't see how they get to net zero by 2050, but obviously it's facile to make promises 30 years out.  I suppose they could completely reinvent themselves, but I don't expect that.
