What ahppened to the Union Leader? It used to be a very good paper once upon a time.

Logging and wood products comprise a $2.7 billion industry that has been gravely impacted by warm winters impairing the ability to harvest timber.

Well, according to the enviro-lunatics 20 years ago, there weren't going to be any trees there anyway because of acid rain. It was such a scare then.

Flown over the northeast U.S. or Quebec recently and seen the effects of all of that evil acid rain?

I wonder what percentage of these enviro-lunatics are atheists. What a bunch of worthless scum.

"impairing the ability to harvest timber"
Yeah, that's the part that got me too; makes no sense to me either.
Do they normally use snowmobiles to drag out the trees?
Or what?

[snowtigger]

Not snowmobiles, but most timber is harvested during the winter. A good snow cover provides protection to the ground, and frozen ground doesn't rut as bad.

[Cobra64]

What a crock. When we lived in CO 35 years ago there was a snow drought. All the major ski areas were hurting. Since W wasn't in office then you didn't hear "Bush'd Fault!"

Anyway, a year later, the ski resorts were doing business as usual.

As a liberal, should`nt she be outraged that trees are being cut down?

[Past Your Eyes]

It's all right to cut trees when it fits your agenda. Well, it's not all right but we'll say it is just to advance our cause. We need to show sympathy and make a victim out of the poor sucker native types (now outnumbered by us enlightened type from away) who still think they might be able to scratch out a living in the cushy logging industry.

Don't need science and burden of proof when there's faith. 'Have faith.' That's what the authorities have been promoting. Relying on faith rather than the burden of proof science. Faith and junk science in bed together. Galileo may be the most well known victim of propaganda but the tradition is just as prevalent today.

In wet areas it is easier to harvest wood in the winter when the ground firms up. I ring trees in the early spring so they die standing up and the foliage draws out the water. In the winter I drop the lighter and semi-dry trees to be cut & split.

It's slowly been going downhill since the Loebs died.

We cannot change the past but we can shape the future! With the findings of the of the IPCC's fourth assessment on climate change, we must, as citizens and business owners, be steadfast in our conviction to require that our elected officials at every level of government immediately pledge to take action to reduce global warming pollution worldwide.
