Question

Is deforestasion a problem in Canada?

Answer 1

It is much more of a problem than is understood. The planet and atmosphere do this very delicate temperature interaction and weather is a result.

The first time I flew over parts of British Columbia, there were bald spots on the sides of mountains where all of the trees were removed. There wasn't selective harvesting, they clear cut an area, replant and do another.

The mountain and trees are part of a very delicate eco system that sustains our lives. Stripping the ground of its cover changes the watershed, run offs, erosion and we couldn't see the solar interaction with the stripped forest.

Solar radiation and the same UV that burn our skin is actually causing the deforested areas to generate extreme heat that is contributing to lower air pressure and changing weather.

British Columbia has 50,000 square miles of devastated forest because of beetle infestations. The 50,000 square miles is a heat sink generating extreme atmospheric heat.

The temperatures couldn't be seen before so go to the only link that will show you the temperatures. It shows the heat generated by buildings, development and at the bottom of the page is a cut block. Look at the heat generated by forest practices.

Remove the trees and scorch the surface of the planet. http://www.thermoguy.com/globalwarming-h...

Answer 2

Not by logging.  The trees that are clear cut get re-planted.  If there was no logging areas would burn and re grow on their own.  

All the trees that are dead from the pine beetles are going to be a problem though.

Answer 3

Only if the Canadians find out about it

Answer 4

Reforestation is a greater problem in the Arctic areas. This is a sign of Global Warming when trees grow where there should be ice pack.
