Ohia trees are dying rapidly, Why?

[pbmaise]

Isnt this thread about ohia trees? The idea of the geo-plant being any factor in rapid death caused by a fungus has been dismissed as extremely remote. Meanwhile harping on something remotely possible dilutes conversation regarding known vectors. After eliminating far more likely causes, the cause is still unkown, then you look more closely at those causes with only a tiny chance.

So if your goal is to prove geothermal, first prove other causes are not the reason.
