Colorado’s Ski Resorts and Global Warming

We all know global warming is a big issue these days. We have to make significant changes, and do it fast, if we want to salvage certain things. One of those things is the sport of skiiing. It is predicted that by 2020 snow line may be 300 feet higher, which will present a huge issue for resorts all over the world. CBS4 in Denver reported yesterday, however, that Colorado may not have as rough of a time with global warming as many other places. They interviewed Robert Henson, who works at the Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder. He said that the altitude of most of Colorado’s ski resorts may help it survive longer.

Let’s hope that is true. The resorts in Colorado are a natural resource we all need to consider precious. So, keep voting for environmentally responsible legislators, recycling, reducing, and reusing, and let’s keep these resorts safe. It may be too late for some resorts at lower altitudes.
