Human civilization continues to emit greenhouse gases by burning fossil fuels at record levels, causing global warming and therefore disrupting the entire planetary climate system. In fact, the State of Utah is warming twice as fast as the global rate.
As a result, Utah will continue to experience severe droughts, shrinking snowpack, costly wildfires, and extreme heat events. How we collectively respond to climate change today will determine how our families, health, economy, and natural landscapes will be impacted in the future.
