Column: Climate change front and center at Tahoe
Submitted by paula on Fri, 09/11/2020 - 10:03am

Scientists are also measuring wilder weather patterns, more severe droughts, and changing ecosystems as the planet’s temperature rises. More drought means more dead trees, and hotter summers mean a longer and more
severe fire season.
