This was an important presentation and discussion on the ongoing aridification of New Mexico caused by higher temperatures. David Gutzler and David DuBois presented how and why New Mexico is drying, what we can expect, and the certainty of the science. The science of global warming impacts on New Mexico’s climate will guide us in how we manage and protect our scarce and life-sustaining water supplies.
The Water Utility Authority is not helping its credibility, its customers, all metro Albuquerque residents, and the local economy by its confusing and unrealistic drought stage metrics.
