Global Warming Endangers U.S. Parks

"'The timing of the Bluewater Network report could not be any better,' said U.S. Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.). 'The report is shock therapy; if it doesn't motivate us to do something, nothing will.' The report said that potential impacts on the parks and public lands from global warming include the extinction of several endangered species; mosquito-borne diseases such as malaria; the loss of flora and fauna in many parks; severe wildfires; air quality problems; erosion and rising seas in coastal areas; melting glaciers and other problems."
