Document Title: Colorado beetle kill, Photo by Carlye Calvin (DI01762)
Description: Trees in a forest near Grand Lake, Colorado in the Rocky Mountains show the effects of an attack by the pine bark beetle. A combination of periods of severe drought and a lack of extreme winter cold--weather conditions that are consistent with climate change--have led to an epidemic of damaging beetles in pine forests across much the U.S. West.
