The Sacramento Bee -- New alarm sounded for Canada's forest The collective impact of energy development and logging is enormous, the study concludes, threatening not just wildlife and old-growth areas but the long-term ability of the forest to produce lumber -- and jobs -- for Canadians.
"The attitude that the forest can be all things to all interests is no longer tenable, if indeed it ever was," the article says. "Although the boreal forest presents a seemingly endless expanse, it does in fact have limits and they are now being reached."
The study is important to California because the Golden State is a large consumer of Alberta wood products and natural gas. A quarter of the natural gas sold in California is pumped from sedimentary deposits that underlie western parts of Canada's boreal, mostly in Alberta. Sixty percent of Alberta's lumber, siding and paper is exported to the United States and, although precise figures aren't available, large quantities make their way into the California marketplace.------------------------------------------- posted 7:06 AM :: reference link ::
