This was on the news here in San Diego Last evening...it is truly a sad thing to see. With California becoming warmer, no rains, these beautiful trees (which in my opinion are one of the Wonders of the World) are dying.

I too, have been in a car and went through that tree...just amazing and totally awesome to see these towering wonders.

Please visit site, if you have never experienced Tall Trees that have lived for over Centuries, this is quite the disaster that they are dying due to our environment.

Sadly, they are not seeing any help coming, and it will only get worse. So sad for children who will never get to experience what I did in "their" lifetime.

Great Article please read...it is very important to know what Man has done to everything living, not only animals on earth, sea, but all of the land...

Noted with extreme sadness for all of the loss...
