Fruit Street Sitting Area, Brooklyn Heights. Peak over the edge here, cautiously, and note how this vine is hugging the stone. Must just love that CO2 being pumped out of the traffic on the BQE below. And in fact, a warmer, more CO2-filled atmosphere makes this stuff grow like Topsy. Leaves the size of pie-pans are now being seen on this species. Its range and potency has already doubled since the 1960s and is expected to double again as the ppm keeps rising.

PSA? PPM? But think how pretty the vine will be in the fall when it turns red! You heard that they’re bringing in goats at one park (sorry, I forget which one) where the poison ivy has got out of hand, because goats, with their iron stomachs, will be happy to devour it.

Public service announcement, parts per millions. Birds love poison ivy, too.
