The heat is on: A warming Mountain West

The trend in temperatures continue to warm in the Mountain West, which is not only affecting the snowpack, but consistency of the snow itself.

Climate scientist at the University of California, Dr. Daniel Swain, joins the show to speak about what’s happening with this winter’s early-season snowpack.

We discuss trends in weather and how the Mountain West is reacting to a warming world and our current weather conditions.

Claire is the producer and co-host of This Green Earth and host of The Local View.
