For more than two decades, Udall has been studying how climate change is altering the West's water resources. He said 2026 may go down as the worst year for Colorado River flows in recorded history.
"It's really grim. It's horrific," said Udall, a senior climate scientist at Colorado State University’s Colorado Water Center. "The impacts are going to be everywhere, throughout the economy and personally. You will feel this personally as it happens."
Based on previous years, a water shortage across the West could have drastic implications for food prices as crops dry up and cattle go thirsty. It would also imperil tens of thousands of businesses that depend on industrial water use, and raises the risk of catastrophic wildfires.
PS, IMO, climate change issues should not have to go in politics. These are simple facts. But thanks to snowflakey MAGAts, here we are.
