Logging and Global Warming in California

It's an interesting article. The Center for Biological Diversity is ornery, but I am not sure this theory, that doing some selective logging will increase green house gases in the atmosphere, is going to fly. First, it's ecologically wrong. And second, by filing litigation in five different counties, it's clear the Center is using one of it's favorite tactics: litigate them to death.

I think the collaborative spirit that other environmental organizations have embraced when it comes to decisions about logging is welcome relief from the antagonistic hyperbolic rhetoric that happened in the last part of the 20th century. Without some forest management on these and many other forests, particularly in the west coast, these forests really will be of no help in altering global climate change. Logging, in the ways sought here, will help rural communities, who are already suffering from this current recession. Plus, the forests probably will be healthier. It's a win-win and the other environmental organizations know this.

The Center is using very little foresight.
