Facing warmest winter on record, Minnesota forced to pivot on recreation offerings
==========
Minnesota is experiencing its warmest winter on record, prompting the state to adapt its recreation offerings. The winter sports industry contributes over $12 billion to the US economy annually. The state has shifted its advertising focus to outdoor activities due to the lack of winter weather. The warm winter is attributed to climate change, with rising minimum temperatures and a shorter winter season. The effects of climate change are impacting the economy, with canceled winter sports and recreational events. Minnesota officials are working to adapt to the changing climate and lead in climate change resilience efforts. The state created an interagency effort in 2019 to address climate change. The state is focusing on stormwater systems, planting more trees, and supporting winter recreation businesses. Professional athletes are also affected by the changing climate, with events and trainings being canceled or delayed due to lack of snow or warm temperatures. There are no long-term plans in place to address the changing climate in winter sports. Minnesota is aiming to lead the country in climate change resilience efforts and prepare for the impacts of climate change.
