Trees in old-growth forests of the western United States are dying at twice the usual rate, and scientists say climate change may be to blame.

Same people were blaming the same problem on acid rain a few years ago.

Before long, these scientists will be proclaiming global warming are killing baby boomers. Between x year, theres a sharp decrease in human population. How could that be? Must be because of global warming

Fake science for a fake cause/religion. Father AlGore of the Church of GlobusWarmus hath proclaimed it so. The trees portend doom. The rabbits with the mean nasty teeth shall smite us. We shall have to resort to the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch.

But, they have carefully examined EVERY other possible variable and global warming is the only possible cause. NOT.

These folks are producing Obama-output.

The NY Times kills millions of trees per year printing their left wing propaganda - ditto for most lib papers. This hopefully will end soon.

Old growth forest contain a large number of old trees.

The older things get, the greater the liklihood of death.

So if these trees all got their start long ago, we could be seeing the upper limit of tree longevity.

The greens see Old Growth Forests as sacred, but I don’t think they are immortal.

I’ve planted well over 100 trees on my own property and my family has close to 25 acres in a set-aside Tree Farm.

And, I sell trees to others for a living.

I’ve done my part to ‘save the planet.’ I just read yesterday that we have 70 million MORE acres in ‘trees’ than we did when the Pilgrims first got here. Most of it’s gone back to woodland and prairie and wetland as we get more efficient in producing food and need LESS farmland.

They can just p*ss off. :)

"scientists say climate change may be to blame."

...or more likely not.

This report is garbage. I think what is happening is that bark beetles are killing these trees. This is because of poor forest management. This poor forest management is because of the lawsuits initiated by environmental groups who claim they are trying to save the forests. More garbage mainstream media journalism.

Look at this site, it contains some interesting data that shows this is a bunch of crap. There has been no warming in the north west in the last 22 yrs

in other news the country is in a deep freeze even here in FL where we have had minus temps.

Don’t these people realise now that they are making themselves look rather silly a bit like those who refused to think the world was round or you kill people and get 72 virgins, o wait????????
