The urgency to transition our economy to non-polluting energy isn’t so much about more days above 90 degrees or fewer days on the ski slopes. That’s small potatoes. It’s fundamentally about the surprisingly fragile dependence of modern life upon the relatively stable climate we’ve had since the Industrial Revolution. Buy stuff produced overseas? Imagine how much they’ll cost when the Panama Canal can’t be used because of drought. Use electricity produced by hydropower?

We Montanans are passionate about wildlife.

Bashing China is fashionable these days. But one cool thing is that the Chinese word for “crisis” uses 2 symbols that mean “danger” and “inflection point” (or “pivot”). That frames global climate change well: Ignoring it poses great danger to our kids and grandkids, but pivoting to nonpolluting energy is an opportunity to leave them enriched and grateful. The energy transition is sometimes misunderstood as entailing deprivation, requiring that we sacrifice comfort, or do without things we enjoy.

The magnitude of global climate change has come home to us in Montana. Persistent drought is hurting our agriculture, fisheries and recreation (notably trout and grayling die-offs in the Big Hole River). Flooding caused by intensive storms and rain-on-snow events has washed away bridges, roadways and other critical infrastructure, damaging small businesses. Scorching summer temperatures and wildfire smoke is hurting our health and outdoor lifestyle.
