Christopher Intagliata reports for Scientific American on November 22, 2016 how forest die offs in one region impact forests in another region of the world.
In a 2 minute audio report Intagliata explores how “climate change may be partly to blame for the massive die-off of pine trees in the western U.S. But it works the other way, too: forest die-offs can alter the global climate.”
It is an interesting piece looking at the complexities of global warming and the interconnections between the environment and the climate.
