I would love to see how the 2 to 1 benefit ratio for banning timber harvests was calculated.  Since logging produces real profit while not logging does not, it is clear that many so called benefits of banning logging had to be created, i.e. made up out of thin air and monetized.  The arbitrariness associated with such a process clarifies how folks like the writer can reach the 2 to 1 benefit ratio.  Basically, its BS.
