Global Warming in the West
Recent scientific research indicates that global warming will have profound economic, hydrologic and environmental impacts on the American West. Agriculture, wildlife, the recreation industry and public health will all suffer from decreasing water supplies, less hydropower and more wildfires and flooding. These effects can be mitigated, however, by putting global warming solutions to work today. Cleaner vehicles and cleaner energy will help cut harmful global warming emissions and reduce the negative impacts of global warming on the U.S. West.
