1. My best #journalism this year:

Not long ago, I wrote a story about #forests. Every scientist said we’re losing them to #climatechange faster than expected. So #NationalGeographic, at my urging, dedicated its entire May issue to the future of forests.

We found that around the world, in places like #Yellowstone, #trees are burning but not regenerating. Forests are transitioning to something new. Some will never be the same. Others may never come back.

@craigawelch Great thread, thank you.

Here in St Paul MN we have had large early CO2 effects. We flipped climate “zones”, now more like Iowa. Our urban trees are changing (with human influence) to match insect and tree disease migrations)
