In response to your July 27 story, “New study may predict ‘worst case’ climate scenario for Nevada’”: I read this report with alarm. Every disaster movie starts with a scientific warning being ignored, and we ignore this study at our peril. Like ignoring the early coronavirus warnings, not following advice from climate scientists creates disasters, too.

A new study from UNLV suggests that warm Arctic seas, melting sea ice and a hot Pacific Ocean caused a hot and dry period in the Southwestern United States thousands of years ago, the likes of which have never been experienced by humans.

A cave deep in the wilderness of central Nevada is a repository of evidence supporting the urgent need for the Southwestern U.S. to adopt targets aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions, a new UNLV study finds.

Global efforts are being made to cut down carbon emissions that cause our planet to warm up. While the efforts are being made in the right direction, scientists warn that we may not see the desired results as soon as we think.

The amount of heat-trapping carbon dioxide in the atmosphere hit a record high in May. That's because humanity kept emitting a prodigious amount of carbon, even through the worst pandemic in a century. But if civilization does begin to significantly cut emissions, global temperatures won't promptly start going down, like flipping a climate switch.
