Wi-Fi Radiation Is Killing Trees, New Study Finds

Mmmmmm boy. Can't wait for those wifi mutated killer trees... My dreams are coming true!

Nosowitz is officially my new favorite PopSci writer. Pure class - from root to crown, as it were.

Just remove all the trees from the western world. Problem solved. We can't be bothered by those pesky plants. We want our popsci wherever we go.

Urban trees don't last thousands of years, though. Radiation damage should have relatively limited effects over a limited period of time. I mean, if you're in a highly wired locale, it's also a highly populated and highly *planned* locale; the trees can and will be replaced regardless. The risk would be WiFi in non-urban areas. At least, from what the article's providing, that seems to be a fair assessment - this isn't a real problem.

Is it really JUST Wi-Fi signals? Or other types of electromagnetic waves too?

Seems if we can identify the exact frequency range we can restrict their use...

i have onething to say...

buy Renoylds

B.V. - that's terribly unlikely. The 4G/Wifi/WiMax band has very unique properties - I mean, the range is just big enough to be useful, just small enough to stay in its cell....

When the tower in our neighborhood powered up, we got headaches, hot eyes and and a full signal inside every room in the house. We bought RFI blocking hooded shirts to help with the headaches. The trees began to lose leaves, my body ached. They reduced the signal down to 4 bars. The trees in my neighborhood now look sickly and I feel much better out where cell phones don't work. Autism started increasing when cell phones first came out. Could there be a link?

This is very interesting.

I have heard of people affected like that in several cases. But other times people are not affected by wi-fi/radio waves at all.

From what I have read on this, I think there could be a genetic connection to the people who are more sensitive. Purely a hypothesis though.

And what's the range of WiFi? maybe 300 feet at best with uninterrupted line of sight? Mine's more like 75 feet. Yes, let's all panic!

Didn't Popsci write an article about a man whose health was greatly affected by electronic radiation a few months ago?

Prequel to the happening?

The Apocalypse is caused by a " talking serpent in the tree of life" . This is code for a radio controlled poison.

aka genetic bomb.

The technology for building a genetic bomb has been reportsd by pop science. The bomb is expected to be triggered by a solar flare . This theory is subject to error; however , keep the holly grail handy just in case. We may need to drink it one of these days. I expect the beverage to suppress the genes.

"The segment of the radio frequency spectrum used by 802.11 varies between countries. In the US, 802.11a and 802.11g devices may be operated without a license, as allowed in Part 15 of the FCC Rules and Regulations. Frequencies used by channels one through six of 802.11b and 802.11g fall within the 2.4 GHz amateur radio band."

There is also a chart at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE_802.11

with the outdoor ranges varying form 330 ft to 16,000 ft for the different protocols...

No time for jokes, this is serious, and finally there is some maintstream attention.

We have lived in the same location for over 20 years. We have been until last fall relatively distant in our urban setting from cell phone base station antennae (400 & 800m). Last fall at 200m a “low power” new 2.1-something gHz transmitter was aimed our way (and the general ambient level is of course up as well with more & more wireless mania dependencies). A Norway maple previously resplendent(at least 15 of those years) suddenly this spring became defoliated by half — only on the side facing the mast (photos available). There are other aspects of vegetative stress on the property: a giant aggressive rosebush for years near that Norway, probably in the same plume of radiation descending on our yard, has turned sickly; there have been leaf deformities never seen all our years here on grape vine & pear tree; one fir tree sheltered mostly from that plume, has newly browned-out spots ONLY where the branches poke out around a north wall thus directly exposed to this new emitter. Wake up! Synthetic xenobiotic radiation like this is a universal bio-/enviro-stressor, and must be turned back starting now, lest everything with cells in its body eventually succumb in one way or another. All over our city, now further densely e-smogged with “smart” utility meters just activated this year, we have noticed accelerated tree stress this year, whereas in local ravines where radiation tends to be much lower there are few or no signs of this defoliation etc. Open your eyes, pay attention to your own symptoms and those of people around you, clue in & tell everyone you can, so as to effect drastic corrective change as speedily as possible. Another current anecdote: black raspberry bush part exposed to new “smart” electricity meter radiation (different locality, stronger transmission, higher frequency) had exposed cane leaves wrinkle and turn yellow and yield inedible-tasting fruit, canes sheltered just fine.

I believe it's because of the genetic engineering of trees, they just aren't as hardy as old growth...

This is disturbing. If proven true, I think that going back to wired Ethernet is in my future. Just last week I bought a Blue-Ray player that played video off of wireless internet. Fortunately, it can be wired as well.

Wow I'll might just have use of my Ethernet Cable

Alex Ingram: Gee, we Could hack them all down for their cellulose and turn them into photocopy paper after we've killed them all with wi-fi radiation. That's so cool. Then we could poison our water supplies with the excess ink we use to print the pretty pictures of the beautiful forests that we used to have. I wonder if the petroleum based plastics industry has started to design new bird houses for the homeless bird populations, along with a study of how many millions of years it will take for a plastic birdhouse to decompose in one of our landfills. Of course, the birds may become extinct long before the chemical decomposition of those plastics occur. Who needs trees for fruit, or for forests, or for turning CO2 into oxygen anyway. Anyone caught climbing, swinging through or hugging a tree may get fined. I know,,,all we need now is more research, a lot more papers written followed by an international TREE-DE to protect these organisms, (That every country will certainly ratify, but not obey or enforce,,,,at least on paper while being paid by the logging lobbyists and special interests.)
Wake me,,,,,when they discover intelligent life on the planet earth.
