LONGMONT — Global warming could — in the coming decades — bring Colorado and neighboring states 12-year droughts more severe than the 1930s-era Dust Bowl, says a study that Boulder scientist Martin Hoerling presented Tuesday.
Hoerling said the work, presented at a drought conference hosted by the Geological Society of America, is the first to translate the results of global-warming models into regional drought predictions.
