Not to mention outdoor recreation is being threatened; shorter ski seasons, longer fishing restrictions, fewer big game kills, and fewer clear days under our beautiful big Montana sky.

Show your support for these programs and your love of Montana’s outdoor fun by joining us for a fun group hike up Waterworks Hill. Bring a friend, pose for a photo, and send the message that we care about our public lands!

================================
"Around 30% of the world’s population is currently exposed to climatic conditions exceeding this deadly threshold for at least 20 days a year. By 2100, this percentage is projected to increase to ∼48% under a scenario with drastic reductions of greenhouse gas emissions  …”
 
“We do not quantify human deaths per se because the extent of human mortality will be considerably modified by social adaptation (for example, use of air conditioning, early warning systems, and so on18–20). Although social adaptation could reduce the exposure to deadly heat18–20, it will not affect the occurrence of such conditions. Given the speed of climatic changes and numerous physiological constraints, it is unlikely that human physiology will evolve the necessary higher heat tolerance21,22, highlighting that outdoor conditions will remain deadly even if social adaptation is broadly implemented. “
