Will, how come 95% of major forest fires occurring on USFS controlled lands this year, versus very few occurring on state and private lands.   One would think AGW would be an equal opportunity destroyer.  USFS only controls approximately 60% of the forested acres in the state.  

In regards to the "steady diminution of old growth through intensive logging", you have truly shown your colors.   The timber industry transitioned from an old growth dominated  sector to a second and third growth user more than 25 years ago.  There are only a few mills anymore that can process logs greater than 36 inches, and those logs are primarily coming off of private lands!
