I've been to California about 3 times in the past few years (my daughter is in school there). I lived there about 30 years ago and I am completely shocked that people don't realize how brown it has become since then. Of course a lot of forestry types blame sudden oak death on a fungus but ozonists know that trees damaged by air pollution lose their immunity to fungus, disease and insects, just like a person with AIDS.<br /><br />Here are some links with info/pictures about CA:<br /><br />Sequoia National Park: http://witsendnj.blogspot.com/2012/05/vertigo.html<br /><br />LA: http://witsendnj.blogspot.com/2011/12/root-of-matter.html<br /><br />Joshua Tree National Park: http://witsendnj.blogspot.com/2011/02/something-wicked-this-way-comes.htmlGail Zawackihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01800944469843206253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5549306427964459740.post-62331960639659896952012-07-08T06:12:41.233-04:002012-07-08T06:12:41.233-04:0040 ppb is usually understood to be the threshold a...40 ppb is usually understood to be the threshold above which plants are damaged. (radio interview with John Rielly of MIT here: http://witsendnj.blogspot.com/2012/03/human-volcano.html)<br /><br />Like any other toxin, there is debate about whether it's the dose or the poison, in other worlds, whether it's occasional high peaks that matter most or whether constant low-level exposure causes cumulative damage. This is contentious among doctors about human illness from pollution because it would be far more difficult for industry to comply with lower background regulations.

I have seen it often enough that it worries me. And then I stumbled on your site and maybe that is what's causing it?

I wonder if I can find enough statistics to compare the ratio of fallen trees to physical damage to buildings in past storms, to more recent storms.
