Irrespective of diverse views on climate change, its rate, causes and consequences, there’s no legitimate argument about the importance of saving ancient forests that soak up lots of CO2 and provide us as well as the UO track team enough oxygen for digging weeds and distance running. It’s been a long-ongoing worldwide fight in the immense tropical rain forests of the Amazon and Indonesia, especially Brazil and Borneo, and we in the Northwest have the world’s largest temperate rain forest to cherish and protect. A sister station – Coast Range Radio – is running a program this month on the topic at https://www.climate-forests.org.
