Greenpeace Warns On Canada's Northern Forests
Greenpeace Warns On Canada's Northern Forests CANADA: April 11, 2008 VANCOUVER - Greenpeace warned on Thursday that Canada's logging practices threaten to turn the country's vast northern forest into a source of global warming, but the forestry industry says it is already taking steps to fight climate change. Logging and other development in the boreal forest release the carbon that the trees have trapped from the atmosphere over decades, potentially producing more greenhouse gases than from burning fossil fuels, the environmental group charged in a new report.
