John Pomeroy Has Seen the Okanagan’s Hotter, Drier Future
On Feb. 20 John Pomeroy, the Alberta-based director of Global Water Futures at the University of Saskatchewan, journeyed to British Columbia’s Okanagan Basin, a place of vineyards, orchards, pleasant cities and recreational playgrounds, to deliver a message.
Pomeroy came armed with the latest projections for how climate change will dry up the region. His presentation included predictions of drained reservoirs and increasingly flammable forests.
