Global warming victim: Trees?

A newly discovered casualty of global warming may be the Northern pacific whitebark pine tree, which has been taken a hit due to lack of rain and snow pack. This in turn affects animals that need the tree (grizzly bears eat the tree's nuts). So just a little good Tuesday news... sorry about that folks. At least we aren't ignoring the problem anymore.
