HaPPy Thanksgiving, Folks!

[ShadowAce]

Uhh--OK, I think.

[Soothesayer]

I live in the middle of the forest and my trees are perfectly fine.

[gundog]

Trees...and every other damn thing on and off God’s green Earth gets bombarded with electro-magnetic radiation constantly.

[T. P. Pole]

Bleeding? I bet they cry, too.

[AU72]

I guess we have to back to communicating by smoke signals or fire towers, except it would cause GW.

[T. Rustin Noone]

Ummmmm.

Excuse me.

In order for a tree to “bleed”, doesn’t that require the tree to have “blood”?

Just askin’.

“There is unrest in the forest...”

[Soothesayer]

The trees in the Netherlands are warped, diseased, and twisted because they are completely surrounded by leftist vermin. They tend to have an unhealthy influence on living things...

Whether this study was good or not, it would be interesting to know if Wi-Fi coverage affects humans in some way. In some places, there are 10+ hot spots running 24/7.

[Attention Surplus Disorder]

And those that are not sickened, are offended. Unexpectedly, of course.

[GotMojo]

they conducted the study from September through November.....no leaves on the tree by the end of the study!

[DBrow]

I was just in Pennsylvania, at a school that has WiFi, and all of the trees on campus had exfoliated (even the larch). The only trees spared were the fir and spruce trees.

And, far more telling, both professors I visited had large bald spots!

Come on man! Don’t be a “sap!”

[LearnsFromMistakes]

you can always apologize to them and weep over them, like this earth first group:

And now....

The Larch

The Larch.

Liberals will move to ban the Internet - why it causes climate change and makes trees die!

[LoneStarGI]

AHAHAHAHA, so first they tell us that our cell phones are giving us brain cancer, now they’re telling us that wi-fi is harming trees (ie. tree cancer). With all due respect, there are at the very least six Wi-Fi hotspots in my neighborhood alone. This summer the tree in my front yard added almost two feet, FEET, of new growth. I’m not seeing any trees dying anywhere around me.
