More boreal bullcrap (on the front page, above the fold)

Vancouver Sun, this morning - Huge swaths of Canada's boreal forest under threat
At least half of Canada's vast boreal forest should be strictly protected from any kind of development and the rest should be carefully managed to preserve or restore its ecological integrity ...

... The International Boreal Conservation Science Panel ... is sounding the alarm about Canada's 5.8-million square kilometre expanse of northern woods and wetlands ...

... Report co-author Jeff Wells, science adviser to the U.S.-based Pew Charitable Trusts, said in a statement that because of the "mounting pressures on boreal regions of Canada," ...
This is more anti-development propaganda brought to you by the same eco-radical ENGO bullies, thugs and shakedown artists who intimidated forest companies into signing the Canadian Boreal Forest "Agreement". [Recall that one company, Resolute Forest Products, located it's spine and sued for defamation.]

Neither forests nor forest wildlife are under any credibly realistic "threat".  Those most threatened (by eco-blackmailers) are people who make their living in the forests.  Eco-radicals brook no love for people.

  1. There is just no end to the lies coming from these radicals. First being that wood (forest) is a sustainable and renewable resource, something the same radicals claim to favour. Second is that any forest without management will be destroyed by nature either through fire or disease. That is nature's way of regenerating or renewing the natural world. So if we really want to leave the forests to nature, then we need to cease fighting forest fires along with everything else we do to protect the trees.

  2. I agree. If these people have their way, the result be detrimental to the forests. The losers will be the forestry companies, their investors, employees and customers (ie. everybody).
