I'm sure this has something to do with not signing Kyoto.

Surely something that the evil white anglo-saxon male has done is the cause of this travesty!

The Sequoia National Park, north of San Francisco

I hate to picky, but no it's not...

Shame about the tree though. The Giant Sequoias are truly amazing to see.

Let's cut it down! The Left is pro-euthanasia, why doesn't it apply here?

Or, they could send it up to San Francisco, so they won't have to charge 17 cents per bag in the grocery stores.

Scientists are expected to make a full evaluation of the living landmark's condition in the spring when the snow in the area melts, Picavet said.

Why don't they hook up some kind of Tree I-V? ;-)

I guess it couldn't take the pain of being known as the second biggest tree.
After several attempts to kill the biggest tree in the world the second biggest tree turned to booze and is slowly slipping into depression. He's girlfriend left him and no one chains themselves to him anymore. Only you can help. Please send donations to tfecw, Tree Psychologist WackoVille, California. Together, we will save this tree's life
