Climate change is impacting the PNW right now. In Washington, our summers are getting hotter and drier. Did you know we’ve already lost 15-30% of our snowpack over the last 80 years with even more expected in the next 80 years? Our reservoirs aren’t big enough to withstand large periods of droughts, like in other states like California.
What do we need to be doing from a climate change perspective? Enter the University of Washington Climate Impacts Group, which is helping to build climate resilience in the Pacific Northwest. We talked with Research Scientist, Guillaume Mauger to discuss the state of Washington right now and what you can do to help with climate change and adaptation.
