Just because it is in Norway doesn't mean it won't soon be coming to a city near you. Our city(Portland,Or.) requires the city forester to inspect each tree before cutting. Most people just go ahead and drop the tree anyway.

Yah. We now have a "Critical Areas Ordinance" in King Fraud County, WA, that will do much the same to rural landowners who do not leave 2/3 of their land in a "natural" state. (Think it's only fines get levied... now.)

The trees were not chopped down, they were just pining for the fjords.

A few years back, a local tree-hugger county commisioner pushed thru an ordinance that said no trees greater than 6 inches diameter could be cut on new construction sites without the approval of the county. That brought new construction to a dead halt. The law of unintended consequences forced the law to be rescinded.......

So what, exactly, are they perserving these "Virgin forests" for, if not as renewable resources? Their scenic value? Who traipses through arctic forests? In the summer you can't see anything through the clouds of mosquitos, and in the winter you can't see anything because your eyeballs freeze.

The STANDARD LIBERAL ANSWER is:
We are preserving them for future generations.......
At which time you say, "In approximately 4 billion years the sun will become a Red Giant and will vaporize this planet and everthing in it." .......
