The findings out of University of Vermont are"pretty consistent with what we've seen for the past 20 years with the two cycles of the census in terms of population growth in the Pacific Northwest"Climate change plays a role in the increased number of forest fires in the Pacific Northwest because the area is getting increasingly arid and dry.
