Dead tree media supports logging. Film at 11.

Color me utterly shocked.

I'm of two minds on this: forest fires are part of the natural ecological cycle. The only reason we not work so hard to prevent them is that many people live in wooded semi-rural suburbs.

On the other hand, we've had manicured forests in Europe for the last 600-800 years, at least.

I don't think it's been an bad week for environmentalists, either, as there's not been any actual negative hard science, just more bluster from those who want to continue with the status quo.
