"Think of a planet in the grip of climate crisis, and many of the images in
your mind will be carved from wood. Forests in Canada and Australia going up in
flames; loggers in the jungles of Indonesia and Brazil chain-sawing ancient
trees for lumber; monocultural fir plantations marching in geometric order up
the hillsides of Scotland or Sweden.
You might be surprised to discover, then, that many of the world’s woodlands
are in a surprisingly good condition. The destruction of tropical forests gets
so much (justified) attention that we’re at risk of missing how much progress
we’re making in cooler climates.
That’s a mistake. The slow recovery of temperate and polar forests won’t be
enough to offset global warming, without radical reductions in carbon
emissions. Even so, it’s evidence that we’re capable of reversing the damage
from the oldest form of human-induced climate change — and can do the same
again."
