HEALTH DEPARTMENT WILDFIRE SMOKE RECOMMENDATION FOR SEELEY LAKE RESIDENTS
“Smoke from the Rice Ridge fire is going to continue funneling in Seeley Lake every night, where it enters the buildings and puts every resident at risk of serious health effects - particularly those who are vulnerable to particulate pollution. Health effects can include reduced lung function, heart attack and stroke.”

International report confirms 2016 was warmest year on record for the globe
“The 27th annual State of the Climate report has confirmed that 2016 topped 2015 as the warmest year in 137 years of record keeping. The report found that most indicators of climate change continued to follow trends of a warming world, and several, including land and ocean temperatures, sea level and greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere broke records set just one year prior. Last year’s record heat resulted from the combined influence of long-term global warming and a strong El Nino early in the year.”
