"There is no single menu theme here, but plenty of food for thought. Sample it. Chew on it. Share it with friends. Enjoy."--From the foreword by Denver Mayor John HickenlooperMelting glaciers. Pine beetle infestation. Drought. Carbon footprints. Green jobs and promises of a new energy economy. . . . When the venerable Aspen Skiing Company starts talking about the "death of snow," even the most determined deniers start to wonder, what is going on? This enlightening collection of essays develops a portrait of the wide range of responses to climate change in the Rocky Mountain West. For more than two decades, this region has been a leader in addressing climate change, and today it is a hub of solutions to this pressing global issue.Written by more than forty veteran journalists, scientists, businesspersons, and policy makers, these essays show us how climate change has and continues to affect the ways in which we live, work, and play. An alternative to the many dry scientific books and how-to greening manuals about global warming, "How The West Was Warmed" provides insight, hope, and a little dose of humor to inspire all Americans as we face the future.

A portion of the sales of this book will be donated to Western Resource Advocates
