They are talking about trees dying in the Amazon rain forest and I'm sure you would have something to add about the state of the trees in our country. <br /><br />People need to know that trees everywhere seem to be threatened by die-off.<br /><br />catman306Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5549306427964459740.post-732592152423198592010-03-15T15:59:26.773-04:002010-03-15T15:59:26.773-04:00This is clearly an example of what will, invariabl...This is clearly an example of what will, invariably, become known as "Treegate" once Medea gets her hands on it.<br /><br />These trees were simply attempting to relocate to more suitable conditions.<br /><br />The birdies will follow.<br /><br />Just like it says in the latest ornithological assessment.unreal2rhttp://mindoverblather.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5549306427964459740.post-19357071850295036982010-03-15T12:51:37.329-04:002010-03-15T12:51:37.329-04:00Hi catman306, I have read Peterson, and it's v...Hi catman306, I have read Peterson, and it's very interesting to know that people in other geographical locations are equally dismayed by what is happening to trees. The California contingent though seems quite convinced there is a government conspiracy to produce contrails to slow down warming and that is the source of aluminum. I don't quite buy that, it seems a bit farfetched and the actual polluting that everyone is openly contributing to seems quite enough to do a job on the trees.<br /><br />Dion, I know exactly how you feel. Part of me wants the vegetation to die back so dramatically that people will wake up before it's too late (as if it isn't already anyway...) This morning was one of those days when I think maybe I'm crazy! There were so many trees down, it was mind-boggling - and then today I saw a philodendron in the local library and I swear the leaves had symptoms of ozone poisoning - loss of chlorophyll and the were all crinkled up. My own hose plants are bizarre - I have a jasmine vine with bright red leaves. Thinking along these lines is when I start thinking I'm losing it ha ha!Gail Zawackihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01800944469843206253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5549306427964459740.post-41131029327028741582010-03-15T12:41:04.190-04:002010-03-15T12:41:04.190-04:00We had a wild and wicked wind come through South J...We had a wild and wicked wind come through South Jersey over the weekend. I was expecting more damage to the trees than what I saw. Part of me wishes a natural disaster would take place so I can say, see, look at what we are doing to our planet. Okay, it only takes a second or two for me to come to my senses but the thoughts are with me none the less. <br /><br />Thanks for speaking for the trees, Gail.Dionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07094443267132622902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5549306427964459740.post-9569071773051509962010-03-15T09:02:30.645-04:002010-03-15T09:02:30.645-04:00Beautiful young people!

Notice in your above photos that the roots of the fallen trees have weakened and broken. Trees around here have fallen in the same way but there was draught and then heavy, wet snow last year March 1st.<br /><br />http://www.newswithviews.com/Peterson/rosalind4.htm<br /><br />catman306Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
