In the background is a photo of a boreal forest on the edge of a lake in Minnesota. The trees are green, the sky is blue with a few white clouds, and the water is calm. Over the photo is the text, "On Kare 11: 'A warming climate could make Minnesota look more like Kansas."

On Kare 11: "A warming climate could make Minnesota look more like Kansas." In this news short, reporter Greg Vandegrift speaks with Lee Frelich, director of the University of Minnesota’s Center for Forest Ecology, about the potential impacts of climate change on Minnesota's boreal forest. The piece features research co-authored by Frelich that takes into account rising levels of C02 emissions, among other factors, to map out possible future scenarios for the Northwoods.
