Declining Methane Emissions But Steady Leakage Rates Observed in Western U.S.
Methane emissions from the region have fallen by half, but analysis of leak rates show that there is still a ways to go in stopping methane leaks, which impact the climate and human health, and can impose costs on Utah’s economy.

Study Shows That Climate Change is the Main Driver of Increasing Fire Weather in the Western United States
A new study, part of NOAA’s Drought Task Force IV research, shows the leading cause of the rapid increase of wildfires over the western U.S. is the rapid increase of surface air vapor pressure deficit.
