If you have a drip tray under your fridge that’s filled with orange goo, you might have an organism living with you that science wants to know about. A researcher at Colorado State University is collecting samples from people’s homes that he thinks could hold solutions to climate change and pollution.

A new study from Climate Central shows that Arizona, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico and Utah have had more than 20 extra high heat-risk days on average, and pregnant mothers without access to cooling could be more at risk.

Following several amendments, a new bill paves the way for easier geothermal energy production in Colorado. Hot springs owners are cautiously supportive in hopes collaboration will lead to win-win situations.

The state senate recently passed an incentive legislation that could bring more data centers to the state.

For example, Utah’s Zion National Park has four days annually on average above 92.4 degrees – its 99th percentile temperature. That could jump to 21 days, or even higher.

University of Colorado hydrologist Toby Minear captures river flow data with the NASA satellite he helped develop. Then he runs rivers to double check its work.

By 2030, Boulder could see 28 days over 95 degrees and nearly 200 high fire-risk days annually. By 2050, those numbers rise even higher. The city says it’s expanding tree canopy and focusing cooling efforts on low-income neighborhoods most at risk.

A new scientific analysis shows spring is getting warmer across the U.S. because of climate change. Some of the fastest-warming cities are in the Mountain West, threatening to shrink water supplies and increase wildfire risk.
