Montana: Trout and Drought
How is climate change affecting Montana? Warmer springs are making snow melt sooner, and early snowmelt leaves rivers low by summer's end. A look at what it all means for anglers, farmers and other Montanans, and how they are responding.

Climate Central bridges the scientific community and the public.
The challenge of global climate change demands the best information possible. In order to make sound decisions, the public and policymakers need objective, understandable, science-based assessments of this challenge and options for addressing it. Climate Central is an accessible one-stop source for timely, relevant, high-quality climate information through a variety of channels, targeting the media and leaders in business, government, and religion. It operates without partisanship, bias, or lobbying.
Using both staff experts and an extended blue ribbon network of scientists, Climate Central assesses and synthesizes the latest science, technology, and policy proposals. Our experienced communications team turns that information into creative, easily understood, and graphically rich pieces for print, television and the web. To engage our audiences with maximum effectiveness and meet them where they live and work, we emphasize the regional and local dimensions of climate change and opportunities for solutions. Climate Central is a unique hybrid linking science and media: a think tank with a production studio.
