In recent years we have started to see the effects of climate change in a more drastic way. Before the iconic symbol of climate change were the polar bears and the arctic ice melting. Now we don\u2019t only have to hear about polar bear to see what is happing because it\u2019s happening in our own state and we are able to see it firsthand. Droughts, floods, and heat waves are some of the effects of climate change that we have experienced. Last year we saw the drastic impact that it had on salmon in the Pacific Northwest. The winter of 2015 brought the lowest snowpack at near zero.\u00a0 The low level of snowpack was the major factor for the loss of nearly half of the expected salmon to return last year. Warm water temperature not only means harm to salmon\u2019s immune system but makes salmon an easy target for diseases. Many of the disease have come from salmon that have been cultivated in hatcheries. If diseases weren\u2019t enough they still have to go through numerous dams that make it nearly impossible to reach their spawning grounds.<\/p>\n
