SALT LAKE CITY -- There is convincing scientific proof the Earth is warming, and that issue has been a political football for some time.

State Climatologist Robert Gillies recently sat down with Bob Evans to answer 3 Questions about the hot-topic of climate change.  See the video above for that segment, and check out the extended interview below.

This week's 3 Questions are:

  1. How is the average rise in temperature affecting Utah's climate, and why should we care?
  2. Let's get specific: What will happen if Utah actually gets consistently warmer, how will that impact agriculture, industry and tourism?
  3. What do you want Fox 13 viewers to know about climate, and Utah's climate in particular?
