Brown vs Black vs Green

I forgot to mention a few weeks back on our way here, that in B.C. there were hundreds and hundreds of miles of dead pine because of the pine beatle....It was horrible to see. They say it is the greatest natural disaster to hit BC ever...Also further north the spruce were doing the same thing....It looks horrible to see all that brown. But it does look better when the needles fall off and its black....There are still lots of green trees, of the leaf variety.....People say all dead trees and not much green has changed the climate.... I can believe that.
