Under climate change, North Cascades could see much hotter temperatures
The North Cascades could see much hotter temperatures by 2050, according to a new study by the National Park Service.
The National Park Service’s Climate Change Response Program, created in 2010, released reports for each national park this month that explore climate change’s impacts on the parks.
North Cascades National Park’s report details possible futures under different climate change scenarios.
Produced by fossil fuel use, climate change alters temperatures, the way in which precipitation falls, and the severity of storms, floods, drought and wildfires, in different ways throughout the national parks.
