Unabated global warming threatens West's snowpack, water supply
2016-06-08 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Inside Climate News: The snowpack in the Sierra Nevada, as well as mountains across the West, has been shrinking and threatening water supply as the globe warms. Low-elevation snowpack across the Rocky Mountains, the Sierra Nevada and the Cascades will disappear in the coming decades if global warming continues unabated, according to a new study. The changes will cause water shortages in the region and dry out forests and grasslands, the study's authors say. According to the research, the snow line--the altitude...

Climate change impacting Colorado's snowpack, temperature
2016-03-28 03:33:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Denver Channel: Climate change and rising global temperatures are just a natural process that the earth has experienced many times over its long history. Whats not normal right now is the speed at which those temperatures are rising. Professing Scott Denning from Colorado State University joined us on the First Alert Spring Forecast to talk about climate change. He says the greenhouse effect is what keeps the earth inhabitable and that without CO2 in the atmosphere, the earth would be cod enough to freeze the...

California Snowpack Returns, But Fears Held For Future
2016-03-23 22:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Climate Central: California's main water reservoir -- its mountain snowpack -- has made a triumphant return to the Sierra Nevada following severe shortfalls in recent years. A string of winter storms boosted by El Nio has restored much of the mountain snow that melts through summer to help top up the state's reservoirs, but the prognosis for the decades ahead remains grim. The return of California's snowpack this winter has relieved water managers and skiers alike. Climate change is projected to corrode...
