Yes. Yes.

Yes.

The relatively warm winters that allowed pine beetles to survive (I think it takes 10 days at -20C to kill them; ymmv) lasted a few years. It may still be going on.

The pine beetle is one of the supporting arguments for climate change---irrespective of arguments about cause. And it is not about drought.

So I conclude your comment is not relevant to mine.
