Dutch Study: Wi-Fi is killing trees?

[Olo401]

The tree-loving folks of Dutch city Alphen aan den Rijn commissioned the study after finding abnormalities on trees that couldn't be explained by known viral or bacterial infections. Over the last five years, the study found that all deciduous trees in the western world are affected by radiation from mobile-phone networks and wireless LANs.

Over 70 per cent of trees in urban areas in the Netherlands are afflicted by Wi-Fi sickness, displaying significant variations in growth, and bleeding and fissures in their bark. That's compared with just 10 per cent showing symptoms five years ago. Meanwhile, trees in wooded areas remain happy and healthy, untroubled by wireless unwellness.

A few years ago it was cell phones, now it's wi-fi.. Is this the real-world onset of a NAS epidemic or just more treehugger propaganda?

unless they show their methodology, smells like hippie propoganda

Wasn't the bee dropoff also explained by damage from Wifi/Celluar devices?

I believe this was correctly explained due to bee's being alien life forms and the dalek's having stolen the bee's planet at the end of season 4. Don't worry though, the Doctor put it back.

[BerenTebogo]

No, it was M. Night Shamalamabama who killed the bees.

[Astarael]

nah they were definitly aliens that migrated across universes. the Doctor said so.

[Mojo]

No, it was M. Night Shamalamabama who killed the bees.

but wait... YOU'RE THE BEES

[Drex]

NOT THE BEES
NO

colony collapse disorder is believed to be the fault of a combination of two separate infections, one fungal and one viral, neither of which is particularly harmful on its own but when combined are fatal

[Demosthenes11]

fuck, if wifi and cellphones kill bees, the whole world needs access, even black people. FUCK. BEES.

[Takedown3]

without bees the world would end faster then without trees

[Acturus]

That's just Beeist propaganda.

Im not talking about one colony. Im talking about how around the world the # of bees overall has nose-dived the last 10-15 years (the same length of time since the proliferation of cell phones/laptops began) to the point of governments and researches considering interventions because they're so critical to the food chain. IIRC, the Wifi/Celluar waves like mess up their navigation and communication.

ok, then we're both talking about the same thing

Cell-phones have been accused of harming humans, bees, and now trees.

your article fails

[Sepukku]

Lol yeah... Ill believe the ARMY's knowledge of BEES.

Also, from your article:

— appears to have achieved a major breakthrough: identifying a new suspect, or two.

Lastly, the fact that trees are just another in a growing list of things cell phones allegedly harm leads me to believe increasingly more that indeed they must be harmful. After all, its radiation. Its not healthy in any dose. Its not like vitamins/nutrients where its healthy for a good amount but eventually it becomes bad. Its just plain bad.

Doubting the Army's capacity for science

I'm Leslie Groves and what is this

No wonder it's been harder to kill them lately they have been listening to my communications prior to my attacks
