Californias Last Nuclear Power Plant Could Close
2016-06-21 08:17:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
New York Times: California, among the first states to embrace nuclear energy in the 1950s, may be breaking things off for good. Under a proposal announced on Tuesday, Pacific Gas and Electric would shutter the Diablo Canyon Power Plant, the states last operating nuclear facility, and would compensate for the lost output with technologies that do not emit greenhouse gases, including renewable energy. The proposal, part of an agreement with environmental and labor groups, is intended to help meet Californias aggressive...

Californias drought isnt going away anytime soon
2016-06-15 23:14:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Grist: Several months after storms fueled by a fierce El Nio exploded over the northern Sierra Nevada, Californias mountain snowpack has nearly disappeared. Scientists bid adieu last week to an El Nio that had been among the strongest on record, but that brought disappointingly few wintertime snowflakes and raindrops to the Southwest. Snow that bucketed down in northern California during a string of March storms has largely withered during a sunny and warm spring.

New Data Proves Trump Is Completely Wrong California's Drought
2016-06-03 13:07:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Mother Jones: California's drought is far from over. Despite recent news that reservoirs are brimming in northern parts of the state, and a speech from Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump denying the drought, the snowpack level is low and temperatures are high. A June 1 report from California's Department of Water Resources shows that current snow water equivalents--the amount of water contained in the state's snowpacks--are at just 23 percent of the normal amount. Average temperatures in the state...

California's water crisis not on radar of presidential candidates
2016-05-29 22:12:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
OC register: The 20th century dams and canals that gave birth to modern California -- to San Francisco, to Los Angeles, to the San Joaquin Valley farms that feed the nation -- are near the end of their engineered lives. The rivers and aquifers they tap are, simply, tapped out. The state's record drought, only dented by last winter's rains, comes amid a 16-year dry spell in the Colorado River basin, which provides 16 percent of California's water. The basin's giant reservoirs are dwindling and may never fill...
