How about explaining what the scientist said instead of making it political.

Unscientific twaddle has been able to influence many voters because those voters have made spectacularly poor choices for their sources of information. And those sources of misinformation - right wing broadcast and anti-social media - are very good at what they do.

I had no idea we had a Novel Laureate in Montana. I must have my head in a paint can. Thanks Zinke, for ignoring the obvious.

I’ve taken several classes from Steve Running & Steve Loken via the MOLLI program at UM. Dr. Running is still teaching us in his and our retirement. So sad that “big oil” has done so much to destroy our planet and the belief in scientific research!

As a WA native who spent my first 50 years there and vacationed all over the West and especially Montana, this is very depressing. I now live in GA and miss the West, especially southern UT where I lived for 4 years. But given the water situation and climate impacts I don't want to move back and make the situation worse. The growth in the West is killing it, especially when coupled with climate change. It's too bad people didn't listen to John Wesley Powell.
