Rep Powers Talks to High School Students Worried About Climate Change

Rep Powers attended the showing of a film called “When the Waters Rise Again” about the 1964 flood in the Flathead and the 2022 flood near Yellowstone.  The event was held at Columbia Falls High School and was sponsored by a high school group called the Conservation Crew along with Climate Smart Glacier Country.  Young people are worried about their futures and effects of climate change.  Climate change is brining not just more wildfires, smoke, and drought, but an increased risk of severe flooding caused by “atmospheric rivers” like the one that hit Yellowstone in 2022.
