Snowshoe, When I moved back to Oregon in 1997, I was aghast at the devastation to the forests here. Compared with the health of the forests when I first came to Oregon in 1972, the difference was dramatic, unequivocal and devastating. The forests are dying. Until the recent flurry of articles, this hasn't been an "above the fold" item for the American public to think about. Yet, it ought to be. Because the boreal forest works as the best carbon sink on the planet. If we kill it, as we seem to be doing, the rate of carbon dioxide poisoning of the atmosphere can be dramatically escalated with dire consequences for the flora of the planet and for homo "not quite so" sapiens.
