Climate change will drastically alter Yellowstone in coming decades

Warmer temperatures, longer and more volatile fire seasons, shorter winters, less snowfall and significant changes in the dominant species of plants: The iconic park you see here today will be fundamentally altered by global warming in the coming decades.

"That conclusion is pretty much inescapable," said John Gross, an ecologist with the National Park Service’s Climate Change response program. "It’s really more a question of the when and how it occurs than if."
