When Kimberly Button drove her RV to Glacier National Park in Montana this summer, she expected relief from her muggy home town of Orlando. “We assumed that we’d have mild temperatures,” she says. “We couldn’t have been more wrong.”
Instead, the Rocky Mountains baked in mid-90-degree temperatures. Button’s family camper, which didn’t have air conditioning, felt like a sweatbox. “We were looking at each other,” Button says, “and saying, “How is it this hot in Glacier National Park?”
Earlier this year, Jessica Pociask, an ecologist and the founder of Wank Expeditions, a tour operator, had to cancel a tour to view harp seals in the Gulf of Saint Lawrence because of a lack of ice. “Climate change is having a massive impact on travel,” she says.
Micha Wacquier, who runs a tour operator called Puur Travel, has faced similar challenges with his trips to South Africa’s Kruger National Park.
So how do you travel during a time of extreme weather? There’s nothing you can do to change the climate, at least in the short term, but there are a few steps you can take to ensure that disruptions are kept to a minimum.
The threat of global warming also should influence where you go. Greg Geronemus, the co-chief executive of SmarTours, a tour operator, says more of his clients are asking him about “last chance” destinations that are threatened by climate change.

We had a ridiculously mild summer in Kentucky this year. It looks like we were experiencing the same thing Glacier National Park was experiencing:
Weather. It runs in cycles. Always has.

Hmmmm. Looks like more local weather happening locally all over the local parts of our planet.
It's called summer. Happens every year.
Oh the horror! All “unseasonal” weather is now officially due to “climate change” by default! How convenient!
“Climate change is having a big impact” - got to love the propaganda way they just slip it in there as a fact!
And the horror of it! unseasonal weather might mess up somebody’s vacation! Talk about a first world problem!
Instead, the Rocky Mountains baked in mid-90-degree temperatures.
So is this the first time ever it has been 90 degrees there?

Umm, lets send ALL leftards there permanently. They can discuss how bad humans are and hopefully they dry up and croak.

The climate, it tends to vary.
I too, got hot this summer on my first trip to the Canadian Rockies.
Amazingly, I survived a few nights w/o AC and didn’t feel like I needed to “do” anything about it...
They accuse us of being “science deniers” then they fail to understand XX/XY and the weather.
When Obama was prez, there was nothing fun about it.
“It’s called summer. Happens every year.”
and when it gets cold in December, they’ll blame this sh*t on climate change. I’m sure they’ll show a picture of a panda bear or some bear to make us all feel bad.
Science has been replaced with “feelings,” and we now call “feelings” scientific consensus.

LOL.
Maybe al Gore or bobby kennedy jr will fly me where I need to go in their private jet.
Maybe I will visit Babs at her redicously huge mansion?
Or, check to see how Harvey’s recovery is going?
The author of this article inadvertently let this slip out.
She bought a camper in Orlando without air conditioning? The article should have been written on lack of personal intelligence and not voodoo science.
We were at Kruger National Park early last year...during their summer.Weather was typical for that part of the world in January.Saw all of the "Big Five" (including a rhino) and we also saw a leopard (which is rare during the day).Climate change isn't the problem for these creatures...it poachers who kill them for their horns,tusks and skins.
Didn't experience a single unexpected "challenge"...except in Johannesburg (thanks to their astounding level of violent crime).
