Temperatures have gone up in U.S. national parks twice as fast as in the rest of the country. And it's going to get worse, a new study finds.
Joshua Tree National Park in the Southern California desert could lose almost all its joshua trees. An adorable alpine mammal, the American pika, might disappear from its favorite roosts, like the high country of Lassen Volcanic National Park. Montana’s Glacier National Park could even find itself glacier-less.
These and other severe outcomes are projected to be coming to America’s 417 national parks, monuments and preserves, if the worst impacts of climate change are not staved off by massive reductions in greenhouse gases, according a new study from researchers at the University of California, Berkeley and the University of Wisconsin.
Using previous data that they aggregated and reassessed, the researchers concluded that under the worst-case scenario, no reduction in earth-warming greenhouse gases, temperatures would increase between 5.4 degrees Fahrenheit and 16.2 degrees Fahrenheit. The most severe increases would hit Alaska’s North Slope, where grizzly bears, caribou, polar bears and other sensitive species make their homes.
The best hope for reducing the impacts would be for governments, companies and individuals to help the U.S. and other nations get carbon dioxide and its sister contaminants under control, the report’s authors said.

Mind blowing of how selective climate change is at picking which spots to heat up more than others.
I almost posted this yesterday but didn’t want to ruin you run about Goebels warming.
National parks suck
Stopped reading right there.
We should abolish all statutes to the Wright Brothers and ban airplanes. That should help.

I wonder what kind of career an honest person could have at either place?
[Temperatures have gone up in U.S. national parks twice as fast as in the rest of the country. And it’s going to get worse, a new study finds.]
Beyond idiocy. They’ll say anything for money.
We’ve camped, hiked, climbed and rafted many of our national parks.
Two things effect change on them:
1) Natural events, over which we have no control.
2) Stupid, ignorant, brainless government decisions - typically made in Washington D.C.
....and its sister contaminants under control.]
The goalposts have been moved yet again.
We have a federal bird reserve here and they have signs out “educating” all who read how the rising seas will destroy the ecosystem. The Federal environMENTALists at the center spew their psuedo-science and have great eye rolls full of disgust for anyone who differs in their climate religion.
Tomorrow I’m going there with a cup of ice. I’ll let it sit awhile, come back and start asking those folks who drank the cup of ice because there is less in the cup. Then again, I like walking there, I don’t want to be kicked out for lambasting their facts by consensus.
What with the increased evaporation, Crater Lake National Park will become Crater National Park. How stupid do these people think we are?
I blame illegals. For the good of planet earth send them back from wince they came!
“Temperatures have gone up in U.S. national parks twice as fast as in the rest of the country”
Two times zero is what?
China continues to increase output at an alarming rate, while the EU and US reduce output... and the Left pretends that we are the problem.
The best I can tell this was published in a garbage online journal.

Bullshit
Does this story offer any guidance on what may become of the
Wisconsin Glaciation National Park and specifically the half mile plus thick glacier that covers Chicago?

Globull warming
And sea levels have risen 2" in floriduh, 4" in new york, -2" in England...
Like water seeking its level, so does/will temperature.
