Greenland glaciers present threat if Earth warms up, scientist says

>And just what in hell does any of this have to do with forestry?

The impact of global warming on forestry has been studied for
this area (PNW) by a group at the University of Washington
and they published a summary called "Impacts of Climate
Change".  They looked at what has occurred so far and compared
it to seven climate models.  The results strongly suggested
that forestry will continue to be impacted in the areas of
pests, selection of trees, fire control, and possibly erosion
control techniques.  Since this is already occurring it isn't a
question of IF, more a question of how big the impact will
be.
