Comments on: Are old forests carbon neutral? http://www.scienceline.org/2008/11/10/ask-konkel-carbon-old-forest/ The Shortest Distance Between You and Science Fri, 20 Nov 2009 14:16:34 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Doug http://www.scienceline.org/2008/11/10/ask-konkel-carbon-old-forest/comment-page-1/#comment-2399 Doug Tue, 11 Nov 2008 23:29:26 +0000 http://scienceline.org/2008/11/10/ask-konkel-carbon-old-forest/#comment-2399 Good post. For those who want to learn more, here is a report on "Forests, Carbon & Global Warming" explaining how climate change is likely to affect forests as well as how forest conservation may help mitigate climate change. The report also helps debunk some of the flawed arguments used by logging advocates. http://tinyurl.com/2n96m5 or see the polished pdf version without footnotes: http://www.oregonwild.org/oregon_forests/global-warming-and-northwest-forests And here is a slide show clarifying many misconceptions about forests, logging, and carbon: http://www.slideshare.net/dougoh/forest-carbon-climate-myths-presentation/ Good post.
