New data gathering method found that 4% of the trees in severely
drought affected areas of the Amazon rainforest died in a 2010 drought.
That rate is 400% higher than normal. Global warming causing northern
forests to warm up and let beetles breed year-round to infest and kill
Canadian pine trees isn't the only problem that warmer temperatures
cause for forests.

Some scientists say this is a problem for forests in the next few decades rather than in the year 2100. Global warming has the potential to cascade ecosphere issues sooner than the U.S. Government might be prepared for.
