We need wood, period. It has to come from somewhere. Ask the people in California how particulary bad their fires have been as late. The fires here are scrub brush. When we do have forest fires they are made much worse by beetle weakened pine trees which go up like an incendiary bomb. The beetles are spreading due to climate change. For many years we have been seeking federal help to remove the dead trees. It's cheaper than making people whole after a wild fire. I'm not certain how true the following is - but have heard that [unspecified] environmental organization(s) have hindered having the trees removed. I find this, as well as lack of governmental action, equally believable. |

Propose legislation that would ensure that we will return the USA to the number of trees that were here before the continent was widely populated. After the 'huggers push that through, we get to cut down several million trees to return the number of trees to what it was. -- If John McCain gets the 2008 Republican Presidential nomination, my vote for President will be a write-in for Jiang Zemin. |

Before Europeans arrived, there was a virtually nonstop forest of billions of trees from the eastern seaboard to the Mississippi. In the west were forests where here are now parched grasslands and clearcuts by the millions of acres...including Alaska. Sure, we have some plantations where of trees grow...But old growth? A tiny fraction of what used to be. The "tree-huggers," as you put it, know this. Bruce Jensen |

It's possible, if they are allowed to grow to that age (which typically for a western temperate montane forest is about 200 years plus, if sequoia species are excluded). More likely, they'll be cut at about 40 or 50 years. This is pretty typical up and down the West Coast, in all types of forest. Even if allowed to grow, plantations are typically one or two kinds of trees, as opposed to a complex mixture. Old Growth forests usually (but not absolutely always, at least in the case of limited instances of coastal redwoods) contain a broad mixture of trees and understory. Understory plants may, however, return...if they are not weeded out by the timber companies as nutrient competition for the trees. There are forestry companies that have actually done good harvesting for many years. Before being purchased by junk bond king Charles Hurwitz, Pacific Lumber up in Humboldt County, CA, had what was usually considered a sustainable and relatively environmentally-friendly operation in the redwoods and Doug firs, people had jobs and lumber, and animals had homes. Hurwitz changed all that. Bruce Jensen |

I just now checked Fourmilab's Earth View.There is still a lot of Ice at
the North Pole.Some of it has melted,but it is all part of the Natural Cycle of Earth.Earth does warm up between about one to two degrees sometimes,it is all Normal and Natural.Humans have Nothing to do with that at all.Every time a Volcano belches,there is more "pollution" in the Air than Humans can ever do.Get Real,,, Get a Life. cuhulin |

I own 30 acres in Wisc. that was select cut about 8-10 years ago and is pretty overgrown, not too bad but its noticable. Theres a 70 acre parcel next to me that has never been logged and has virtually no understory to speak of. Another 40 acre parcel by me was clear cut and is overgrown with scrub making it virtually unpenetratable. The deer love it though. |
