0:53Now PlayingA tiny beetle is part of a growing battery of threats undermining Europe's efforts to fight climate change. Bloomberg's Carolynn Look explains.
After years of drought weakened their defenses, an infestation of bark beetles tore through the insides of the trees this summer, forcing Ritter and her team of foresters to have them chopped down and carted away before the damage multiplies. Over the course of a year, a single infested tree can affect 400 others.
Compared to the wildfires that have gripped headlines in recent months, beetles are a less obvious source of devastation for Europe’s forests. Yet they form part of a growing battery of threats that undermine the continent’s efforts to fight climate change.
