The highest elevation of the Rocky Mountains is Mount Elbert in the Sawatch Range, which at 14,433 feet (4,399 metres) is the highest point in the Rockies.
That is 14,433 feet which is lower than the highest point of the California Sierra Nevada Mountains.
Understand? If the Rocky Mountains becomes dry and as hot as the land and air is not in California, the heat and drought will move east no different than it is doing in California.
THIS IS A CLIMATE EMERGENCY.
