EcoWatch: While rain this week provided California with some relief from a long spell of high temperatures and dry weather, it scarcely made a dent in the states multi-year drought. And theyll hardly be encouraged by a new study, which says the drought is the worst in the region in 1,200 years. In the study published this week in the American Geophysical Unions Geophysical Research Letters, researchers Daniel Griffin, University of Minnesota assistant professor and Climate & Global Change fellow of the...

Californias Drought Ranks Worst at Least 1,200 Years
2014-12-05 13:56:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Bloomberg: Record rains fell in California this week. Theyre not enough to change the course of what scientists are now calling the regions worst drought in at least 1,200 years. Just how bad has Californias drought been? Modern measurements already showed its been drier than the 1930s dustbowl, worse than the historic droughts of the 1970s and 1980s. That's not all. New research going back further than the Viking conquests in Europe still can't find a drought as bad as this one. To go back that far,...

National Geographic: Rain has been soaking much of California this week, but the inches of much needed water are only a drop in the bucket amid the worst drought in the state's recorded history, experts warn. "The rain is welcome-it sure helps-but one good storm is not enough," says Jeffrey Lorens, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service's Western Region. "We're still in a drought, and we will be for some time." The rain threatens many areas of California with floods and mudslides, largely because of...

Calif. drought could wipe out southernmost coho salmon group
2014-12-02 02:23:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Reuters: Californias three-year drought threatens to wipe out the last of the Muir Woods coho salmon that make their way each year from the Pacific Ocean to spawn in a freshwater creek running through the redwoods near San Francisco, state officials said on Monday. As the annual salmon migration reaches its peak in streams through the northern part of the state, those in Redwood Creek, the southernmost home for returning coho salmon, are on the verge of local extinction, officials said. About 100 juvenile...
