Utah is peculiar, as usual
From the Wasatch Sustainability Summit . . .Answering a question from Mayor Ralph Becker, Denver-based climatologist Brad Udall says predicting the impact of global warming on Utah's water needs is tough. The state is situated between a wet north, a desert south and has the unique topography of a large lake that never freezes smack up against a 12,000-foot mountain barrier.
It makes it particularly challenging to predict what will happen here.
He says recent climate data offers a "warning flag" that Utah will see less moisture, but he finally admits:
That's a long-winded non-answer to your question.Becker jokes:
I'm better informed.Udall muses that global warming is a unique problem for humanity because its solution, if there is one, will not be seen for generations. This is particularly a problem for politicians who operate on NIMTO (Not In My Term of Office).
