BOZEMAN, Mont. – Montana State University Extension has published a new MontGuide factsheet, which details weather and climate in Montana.
The newly released MontGuide explains the difference between weather and climate. The color, four-page guide includes definitions of weather and climate, compares weather forecasting versus climate projections, defines the greenhouse effect, and details climate change through time.
“We are excited to offer this new guide that gives Montanans the background to understand an important topic that affects us all,” said Brad Bauer , MSU Extension natural resources agent in Gallatin County and co-author of the MontGuide, “ Climate Science 101 .”

“There are several misconceptions related to climate and climate change,” said Fabian Menalled , MSU cropland weed Extension specialist and co-author of the guide. “We wrote this MontGuide to provide Montana citizens with easy-to-access, science-based information on a relevant topic. We hope the information presented will help everyone in Montana understand the causes and implications of climate change.”
