SPOKANE, Wash. Almost all of Washington is now under a drought state of emergency after dry conditions, extreme heat and little precipitation have plagued the state. Local experts have been studying these changes and are worried the path we’re on isn’t a good one.
“I’m surprised that we’re at this point now in 2021 that we were expecting to arrive at in 2050, which makes us wonder maybe things are even worse than we thought,” said Brian Henning, a member of the Spokane Climate Project and a professor at Gonzaga University in the Climate Center.
