But I don't think it underlies the current rapid decline, because trees in nurseries and annual ornamentals in pots that are in enriched soil have exactly the same degree of damage to their foliage as trees growing in the ground. Also, the damage to trees in the ground is remarkably uniform. I would expect acid rain to be much more localized due to differences in altitude, soil types, etc.Gail Zawackihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01800944469843206253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5549306427964459740.post-90624313672958149142012-01-28T12:00:09.836-05:002012-01-28T12:00:09.836-05:00This article is pretty silly really.

You could have just as easily chosen to replace the subject of your article with acid rain and it would be just as convincing and you could make just as many arguments.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5549306427964459740.post-47523735880976613302011-08-05T21:58:22.389-04:002011-08-05T21:58:22.389-04:00Tell your governor that ozone levels strongly affe...Tell your governor that ozone levels strongly affect asthma<br /><br />see and hear:<br />http://www.webmd.com/video/asthma-ozone-impact<br />read:<br />http://www.epa.gov/apti/ozonehealth/effects.html<br />http://kidshealth.org/parent/medical/allergies/ozone_asthma.htmlrichard Paulinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5549306427964459740.post-11135456738143716352011-07-31T07:09:34.355-04:002011-07-31T07:09:34.355-04:00Apparently the same risk/benefit analysis has been...Apparently the same risk/benefit analysis has been done in Japan with their continuing radiation disaster.<br />(They are so screwed.)<br /><br />Tom Paxton All Clear in Harrisburg<br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iLWetqzhgIQ&feature=related<br /><br />catmanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5549306427964459740.post-61639905161898746032011-07-30T22:35:50.630-04:002011-07-30T22:35:50.630-04:00hmmm... thats a bummer.

If you walk up to them and look individually, the crowns are transparent, they all have broken branches, holes in their trunks, and the leaves are damaged.Gail Zawackihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01800944469843206253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5549306427964459740.post-47810234121791734432011-07-30T21:22:50.298-04:002011-07-30T21:22:50.298-04:00Well on the bright side at least the trees in the ...Well on the bright side at least the trees in the background in some of those pics look pretty decent.
