Montana Forests Struggle With Climate Change

GLACIER NATIONAL PARK, MONTANA - SEPTEMBER 17: Burned trees killed by the 2018 Howe Ridge Fire stand like twigs against the evening sky September 17, 2019 in Glacier National Park, Montana. According to the 2017 Montana Climate Assessment, the annual average temperatures in the state has increased 2.5 degrees Fahrenheit since 1950 and is projected to increase by approximately 3.0 to 7.0 degrees by midcentury. As climate change makes summers hotter and drier in the Northern Rockies, the annual forest fire season has nearly tripled since the mid-1970s, from 49 to 135 days.
