After national park tour, Udall, McCa… - Los Angeles Times- global warming news
Mark Udall of Colorado toured Rocky Mountain National Park Monday then heard testimony from parks officials and scientists about how global warming
is harming the park system. On Monday's tour, the senators were shown dying pine trees infected by beetles spreading as temperatures warm in the Rocky Mountains. Herbert Frost, associate director for natural resource stewardship and science for the National Park Service, said climate change could be the most "far-reaching and consequential challenge in our history. When the Senate resumes work next month, members will consider a bill that would set limits for the first time on greenhouse gases blamed for global warming. Udall didn't say whether he supports the bill, either, making only an oblique reference to the climate debate in Congress. Last week the two senators toured the Grand Canyon to see the effects of climate change.
