The scientific truth about climate change

Is there climate change?

Are WE causing it?

And if so, is there anything we can do about it?

Or you can say the Smokey Bear fire danger signs will read “high” to “extreme” 22 to 30 days a summer, instead of the current 15, by 2040.

Presenting the latest predictions for western Montana and Idaho because of hotter summers and rainier winters was one goal of Friday’s Northern Rockies Climate Change Workshop in Missoula.

But finding a way to relate the hard science to the interests of forest managers, lumber mill owners, trout fishermen and downhill skiers requires some research of its own.
