Climate Change/Biodiversity – Yellowstone is losing its snow – here are the implications for local ecosystems (Bryan Shuman, The Conversation, WEF)

  • A new assessment of climate change has been carried out on Yellowstone National Park and the nearby Grand Teton.
  • The study found that since 1950, average temperatures in the Greater Yellowstone Area have risen 2.3 degrees Fahrenheit (1.3 C).
  • The region also lost one quarter of its annual snowfall; by the end of the century, it is expected to have no snow remaining at all.
  • Below, the implications of this on local biodiversity and ecosystems are explored.
  • It is hoped the Yellowstone area climate assessment will increase understanding of the issues and help communities prepare for the future.
