Montana Governor Says Ignoring Climate Change Is 'Shortsighted And Dangerous.'
. . . State climatologist Kelsey Jencso says,
. .. what folks are seeing this summer:
. . . . . . Extreme fires,
. . . . . . Sudden droughts, and
. . . . . . Snowpacks melting quickly,
. . . may be a vision of Montana’s future.

The eastern 1/2 of the state,
. . . is gripped by the most severe drought in the nation.
. . . Farmers there lost nearly
. . . $400 million dollars worth of crops last month, when compared to the previous July.
And the state’s wildfire season is costing Montanans more than,
. . . a million dollars a day.
