Like many Rocky Mountain people, I too, am getting pretty worried about the pine-beetle situation that's been happening in Colorado over the past few years, and the projections are looking pretty grim.  I've heard scary statistics about how these lil' guys could potentially wipe out Colorado forests, and it really does worry me.  The NYTimes has a video story on the mountain pine-beetle right now.  It looks like scientists, beetle experts, and forest rangers are looking at creative ways of addressing the problem, but they gotta' act FAST, and for many trees and forests, it just might be too late.  Watch the story by clicking below:
