PaganNewsBeagle Earthy Thursday Nov 13

In today's Earthy Thursday post, we've got stories about our one-and-only biosphere: opening North Carolina forests to logging?; thirsty forests in California; crowd-funding dark snow res in Greenland;an emerging food economy; pickling for fun and sustainability;  wonderful slot canyons.

In a move that has southern environmentalists up in arms, the US Forest service has proposed opening 70% of the massive Pisgah-Nantahala National Forest in North Carolina to industrial logging.

An unexpected side effect of climate change is fast-growing conifer forests in the Sierra Nevada mountains in California. Good news? Not if you are a human (farmer or city dweller) competing for water with the increasingly thirsty trees.

Climate scientist Dr. Jason Box is mostly famous for popularizing the research on the effect of dark snow (snow blackened by soot from increasing high altitude forest fires) on the melting of the Greenland ice sheet. He's currently crowd-funding equipment for his 2015 research.

Yes! magazine shares a wonderful article on the fun and sustainable art of pickling food.

Check out these photos of some of the most beautiful slot canyons in the world.
