Since “How the West was Warmed” was published
in 2009, much has changed. The topic of climate
change has become politically charged even while
the scientific documentation of warming has
mounted. Increasing moisture in the atmosphere
has generated unusual numbers and severity
of storms nationwide, including Colorado, this
year. Changing climate trends are being carefully
studied by scientists, water utilities and policy
makers to gauge the risks to our regional water
supply now and in the future.
This panel will bring together book contributors Governor John
Hickenlooper and Brad Udall, Director, Western Water
Assessment, NOAA, as well as regional water experts Jim
Lochhead of Denver Water and state DNR Deputy Director for
Water Alex Davis, along with Nature Conservancy of Colorado
Director Tim Sullivan to explore the future of water in our state
in the face of climate change, and growing pressure to balance
municipal/ industrial, agricultural and environmental needs.
This event will open with a new short film, Chasing Water, by
Basalt photographer Peter McBride. Following the event, books
will be sold and signed (both “How the West Was Warmed”
and McBride’s book, with author Jonathan Waterman, “The
Colorado River: Flowing Through Conflict”).
