"Electrobonsai" became the latest buzzword to hit the eco-blogs as research revealed that exposure to radiation from electricity supplys, including that emitted by WiFi, could have fatal consequences for trees.

The Dutch University that published the original news said:

The researcher from Wageningen University indicates that these are initial results and that has not been confirmed in a repeat survey. He warns strongly that there are no far-reaching conclusions from its results. Based on the information now available can not be concluded that the WiFi radio signals leads to damage to trees or other plants. It takes into account previously published studies showing no effect. The knowledge center awaits with interest the publication of the survey.

While a more sensationalist approach from the Weekly World News disclosed results on another American study that had even more horrific results:

A study by Washington University in St. Louis confirms that Wi-Fi radiation causes abnormalities in trees and these abnormalities eventually lead to tree death. Trees that are exposed to the RF (Radio Frequency) technology of Wi-Fi systems are dead within a year of exposure.

"We studied tree bark, tree sap, and the various insects that inhabit trees. They were all adversely affected by RF. Botanists and arborists are extremely concerned and feel that this is a national crisis of epic proportions." Hofverberg recommends banning all Wi-Fi usage within a ten miles radius of any trees.

"It's the only way we can save the trees of America."
