What kinds of climatic changes could we expect on the Colorado Plateau?
Climate models reveal serious challenges ahead for the region. The U.S. National Assessment of the Potential Consequences of Climate Variability and Change predicts hotter average temperatures and heavier winter rains. Average temperatures could increase as much as 5°F by 2030 and 7–12°F by 2090. These changes will impact the environment, plants and animals, and human health and activities.
Clearly, society will need the will and flexibility to make many adaptive changes as our grand, unwitting experiment with the earth’s climate unfolds over the next century.
