With Idahoans split, our big employers take the lead on adapting to climate change

"The only Idahoans who are not impacted by climate change are those who don’t use water, electricity, eat, breathe, recreate, rely on the forest endowment for their children’s education," Hardesty said at the Idaho Climate Summit.

Most Idahoans say climate change is happening. But less than half think humans caused it and can do anything about it.

A group of scientists, economists, farmers, business leaders, environmental activists, and local government leaders came together around the state last week http://www.idahoclimatesummit.com/ in the latest effort to change that statistic. Before Idaho can come together behind ways to fight and adapt to climate change, people need to talk, said Toni Hardesty, executive director of the Nature Conservancy of Idaho.
