Рік томуScientists say Canada's boreal forest may shift north as pests, wildfires and changing precipitation cause southern parts of the forest to die off. Meteorologist Christy Climenhaga explains.

There use to be trees on the coast in the Arctic. Our global temperature has been fluctuating plus or minus 1.4 C for millions of years. We are presently in a cooling trend in North America. Beetles are more of a threat than humans in the Northwest Territories and Nunvat. In Siberia, fires are left to burn because it cost more to go up there to put out the fire, rather thatn let nature take its course and it burns out when winter strikes.

Montana Glacier National Park has 80 feet of snow that needed to be cleared a month ago, and Lake Louise Moraine Lake road was snowed over till late June.

@@jimmysee1234 Not really. Things happen in cycles. What I am saying is they are over dramatizing what is happening. Of course pollution doesn't help it. Neither does radiation. How many hundreds, or thousands, or millions of years have there been forest fires? Volcanic eruptions? Don't they pollute the atmosphere? It may just be a good thing to stop using gasoline powered engines. You can't do it all at once. It has to be systematic over years. It has to be a gradual transition from one source to another. We are still going to need to burn fuel to make electricity to power electrical systems. What about all the millions of 250v batteries that are going to be coming back? Where are we going to put those? Are there any recycling plants that will rework them? They will pollute just as much toxins as oil, if not more. We need to think of everything. The pros and cons of fuel vs whatever.

@amelie2626 Рік тому
It's about the imbalance that occurs because of things like lack of rainfall, or clear-cutting forests so that certain species of trees and plants that many species depend upon, disappear or become scarce. Nature is a balancing act that is easily disrupted because of human interference. It isn't just that insect or particular animal populations change. It is that the natural controls are interfered with by our foolish actions.
@karlwheatley1244 Рік тому
"It looks like a beetle and insect disease problem not climate change. Let's get real on you stories and be truthful to the people. " Uhhhhhhhh, climate change CAUSED the beetle infestations to get worse. This is well established. Fewer super-cold winter night means more larvae survive each winter and the populations of bark beetles have thus ramped up dramatically because of global warming. The hotter and drier conditions also stress the trees and leave them less able to fight off the bugs. AND the longer warm season means some beetles are having three generations per year rather than just two. It all adds up.
