"When the Boreal forest is degraded through logging and industrial development, not only are massive amounts of greenhouse gases released into the atmosphere, but the forest becomes increasingly vulnerable to global warming impacts like fires and insect outbreaks -  in many cases, impacts that cause more greenhouse gases to be released, creating a vicious circle wherein global warming degrades the Boreal forest and Boreal forest degradation contributes to global warming."
