Scientist Jonathan Overpeck on how New Mexico can be a leader in curbing climate change.

Scientist Jonathan Overpeck has spent decades studying climate change and its impacts in the southwestern United States. Last year, he and Bradley Udall published a paper showing that between 2000 and 2014, flows on the Colorado River averaged 19 percent below the 1906-1999 average. One-third of the losses, they showed, were due to higher temperatures as opposed to changes in precipitation.
