I've always wondered, too. I also wonder if this could be contributing to our Monterey pine tree die-off, among other native plants, such as the California oak.

Food for thought!

Nope, this is not the cause of those problems. You all have some sort of blight out there that has everyone seriously worried for the trees, especially oaks. Don't remember the details but I read something about it about two weeks ago. It's a big thing there.

Am I understanding that the scientestette put powdered tires in the water with the pond scum and that is a basis for an environmental alarm? What do you think the outcome would be if raw gasoline was put in the water? And taa-daa, I'm a scientist too!

Only for the starving.
Or the paranoid.

100 years after rubber was introduced? Right.

I hope all your damn trees die off, I hope the tires fall off your car while your driving, I hope all your vegetables contain heavy metals like metallica and black sabbath. Any
body worried about the damn trees doesnt deserve to use air
on the North American continent, the best thing about trees
is that they can be cut down and turned into baseball bats
which can then be used to beat Anti american enviro nuts and
nazi Islamists to death with! Sorry about the rant your are probably a nice guy but ive had it with the enviro stuff!

There is "Sudden Oak Death," and there is the Oak Worm Moth. Neither of those has anything to do with rubber.
