text: I know bogus when I see it. In many ways, from what I've seen, the entire field of forest management looks so laden with ideology as to be dangerous to the human future. That's what I bring to the table; the ability to recognize the point where ideology overtakes science.
  
  I read the Society of American Forester' statement on man-made climate change, for instance.  While they DO recognize that MMCC is a primary concern for future forestry--unlike you--their response to it is so self serving as to take your breath away. It could have been written by PR flacks from Georgia Pacific or Weyerhaeuser.

  I guess you come by your ideological biases honestly, but, seriously, bro', you've earned the invective even if you ARE only the messenger for an entirely compromised discipline.  Forestry reminds me of the economists I used to know, a political ideology camouflaged as a science.
