But a CU researcher says that some day soon, the Arctic will see its first day in which all of the sea ice has melted due to rising global temperatures. And that could mean drastic changes for weather and ecosystems. Hear that conversation on today’s ITN.

That’s to help communities in the Mountain West and beyond prepare for future disasters brought on by climate change.

That can harm the Mountain West region’s water quality – and native fish.

Today on ITN, the story of how a brutally hot summer in 2002 led Coloradans to rethink how they use water.
