Q: (Gaby) Rupert Sheldrake explains, just as Pierre did in his book "Earth Changes", that the Earth is electrically charged in a negative direction in relation to the atmosphere. A tree is negatively charged, because it's connected to the soil through the sap growing up through the wood, which is electrically conductive, sticking up into the positive atmosphere. And so there's a big difference between the tree and the air around it, which means that the electric tips of the tree and of the branches and of the shoots attract positive ions and they affect the electric field all around them.
In 2012 we asked about a couple of 1500-years-old giant sequoias falling in California on September 2011 during a normal day. At that time comet Elenin was disintegrating after being hit by a coronal mass ejection in August 2011. We also mentioned Meager1's experience during a bizarre early snow storm that took place in New England on October 2011 and how so many trees fell. You said 'The two are related. The "opening up" of Earth has already exhibited a number of interesting repercussions...'
Pierre expanded on this “opening up” in his book “Earth Changes”, explaining how a grounding effect from Sol's companion results in a reduced atmospheric E-field and surface-core E-field.
Is this why we have lost so many trees in our garden in recent years?
A: Yes, and so have many others.
