After the warmest winter on record for many states and a blistering March heat wave that left almost no snow in parts of the US West, the region is facing a summer of serious wildfire risks and a drought that could force broad water restrictions. @byscottdance.com

These conditions bear unmistakable fingerprints of climate change, scientists say. Higher temperatures allow the atmosphere to hold more water vapor, pulling moisture out of soils and plants, leading to longer and more intense dry spells and more severe storms

Drivers of gas-powered vehicles are much more vulnerable to fluctuating prices that result from global conflict than those who charge their cars.
Experts say prolonged high gas prices may drive some EV interest and sales.
