Of all the great rivers of the west it is probably most at peril due to global warming.

😞! Comparing Missouri River with Mississippi River I can tell it’s a huge difference. As you mentioned “it’s a pretty good sized river.” Before reading your article, I didn’t know it was the longes river in North America, but now I do. I wonder how long it stays that way. It’s really interesting to read about the history and how the Missouri River has formed. At the end, this enormous river has been providing life to many for millions years. We should thought about and really appreciate what we still have until we don’t.
