HOW CLIMATE CHANGE IMPACTS CLARK COUNTY

The number of days over 115°F could increase by 10 times by the end of the century, significantly impacting workers and leading to increased costs to operate.  

Climate change not only increases instance of extreme heat: it also causes less frequent, more intense storms, increased flood risks, more frequent wildfires, and worsening drought conditions.
