EcoWatch: If you`re wondering how much damage four years of an epic drought can wreck, look no further than the condition of California`s depleted reservoirs. In new footage of the Folsom, Oroville and Shasta reservoirs--captured by the California Department of Water Resources (CA-DWR) on July 20--it`s genuinely startling to see how little water remains. The CA-DWR wrote on Facebook that Folsom Lake measured at 34 percent of capacity, Lake Oroville at 35 percent and Lake Shasta at 45 percent. Jay Famiglietti,...

Similar to a June release by the group that focused on US spying on high ranking French officials, the documents released Friday appear to originate from the National Security Agency (NSA), and contain a list of what Wikileaks called "high priority targets." The list included entries for the "Japanese Minister of Economy...

Yale Environment 360: Severe drought can affect a forest's growth for up to four years, a period during which it is less effective at removing carbon from the atmosphere, a new study reports in the journal Science. Standard climate models have assumed that forests and other vegetation bounce back quickly from extreme drought, but that assumption is far off the mark, the researchers say. Looking at data from more than 1,300 forest sites dating back to 1948, they found that living trees took an average of two to four years...

Before time of global warming, data shows spring sprung later

InsideClimate: If actions do indeed speak louder than words, plants and animals are telling us in no uncertain terms that human-caused climate change is changing their lives--with potentially dire consequences for the ecosystem. According to one of the largest troves of ecological data from the past, living organisms are already responding to the rise in temperatures from global warming. By digitizing more than 11,000 records from the 19th century that chronicled the flowering of plants and trees, the springtime...
