Global warming to damage Rocky Mountain National Park

The Denver Post reports:

Global warming threatens to damage 12 of the nation's most prominent parks, including Rocky Mountain and Mesa Verde national parks, according to a new report... Among the global-warming changes forecast for the parks are the loss of glaciers at Glacier National Park by 2030, the eradication of Joshua trees at Joshua Tree National Park and reduced rafting opportunities at the Lake Mead and Glen Canyon natural areas.

I hate to be predictable, but I have to point out that of the gubernatorial candidates, only Democratic nominee Bill Ritter has articulated ways for Colorado to deal with global warning. To be fair, Ritter's opponent, Both Ways Bob Beauprez, does have a position on the issue. It involves denial, followed by nothing.

Why am I including a photo of Ritter's runningmate, Barbara O'Brien, despite the fact that she is not mentioned in this post? I don't know. Just because. I thought you all might be getting sick of photos of Bill. Photo courtesy of Bill Ritter for Governor.
