Before the end of the century, Yellowstone National Park could experience summers that feel like Los Angeles’s, according to a report released Tuesday. These warming temperatures will imperil everything from native cutthroat trout to aspen forests and the $700 million in annual economic activity that they and other gems in the park generate by attracting tourists, the report said.
The report, the first evaluation of how climate change will affect the greater Yellowstone ecosystem, is a joint project of the Rocky Mountain Climate Organization, a nonprofit that advocates for carbon emission reductions by drawing attention to the likely consequences of climate change, and the Greater Yellowstone Coalition, a conservation organization concerned with the park and the land around it.
The authors used two warming scenarios developed by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, one based on a medium-to-high-range level of carbon emissions in the future and another one based on a lower set of carbon emissions.

One PETA type person said to me " It could take 25 years for the wild animals to be able to return to this area".
Only two more years and the wildlife will be marching back in droves. [/s]
Wackcos love to use words like:
maybe, if, could, the chance, perhaps, might..........
“Taking the average of 16 computer models of climate future that were fed data from five different local weather stations”
Computers will tell you whatever you Want them to tell you, depending on whose agenda is programming the analysis.
And Who was paying these climate change analyzers?
“a nonprofit that advocates for carbon emission reductions”
GIGO=Garbage In equals Garbage Out.
These cut and paste ecoporn stories are usually printed when there is a climate conferences coming up.

Keyword:could. As in butterflies could spew from my arse or an asteroid could extinguish all life on Earth. I am sick of all the fear-mongering control freaks.
This is getting downright comical. They keep coming up with theoretical disasters hoping one will stick and panic the public. I remember a few years ago they claimed warming was going to cause a massive spread of poison ivy that would cause untold misery on the planet.
What a joke. The entire history of the earth is one of climate change and extinction. What did losing a species do to life on earth?
What effect has the extinction of the American Bison, the Dodo, Black Rhinos, the Baiji white dolphin, the Quagga, the Tasmanian Wolf or the saddle-backed giant tortoise or any of the hundreds of recently extinct animals had on humans or life on earth?
Nothing.
During one of the various ice ages in earth history, Chicago was under a mile of ice. I am happy that we have had global warming since the end of the last ice age.
How do the eco-nazis explain the end of ice ages in history? These ice ages ended before we had coal fired power plants and SUVs.
Or did Cro-Magnon Man and Neanderthals drive SUVs????
First, I live a hundred or so miles North of the park; Second, I’ve got BLM land around my place, so I’ve had direct and personal experiences to form the opinions I’ve got.
Compared to the damage that’s been done to Yellowstone Park and everything within a couple hundred miles of the place by the calculated and direct actions of the EPA, NPS, BLM and all of the so-called “environmentalists” and their activist buddies styling themselves as judges, the effect of warm summers that this current bunch of flatland phonies is predicting is a popcorn fart in a F5 tornado.
The only thing I can think of that would top the results of that bunch of slugs would be if the caldera did blow its top.
....and one of ‘em would probably put out a last-second tweet about how it was “really, truly proof of global warming”.....
I’d pretty much wish the whole bunch a real fast trip right straight to.....
