Crews work near the Adventure Park outside Glenwood Springs, to slow the growth of the Grizzly Creek Fire. The fire is burning in a region of Colorado that's warming faster than other parts of the planet due to climate change.

A Washington Post Pulitzer Prize-winning investigation found that Colorado's Western Slope is one of the largest areas in the United States to warm two degrees Celsius or more in the last 125 years. Juliet Eilperin is senior national affairs correspondent for The Washington Post, covering environmental and energy policy. She joined Colorado Matters host Ryan Warner to talk about the impact as two wildfires burn in the region.
