Mashable: Typically, the snowpack provides up to 30% of the state's annual freshwater resources and is at a seasonal peak depth in early April. But in the face of mild Pacific storms that brought rain instead of snow, as well as drier-than-average conditions and a record-warm winter, the snow cover stood at just 5% of average on April 1, by far the lowest level ever recorded. Conditions are so dire that California Governor Jerry Brown announced on Wednesday the first-ever statewide mandated water restrictions,...

Curbing Global Warming Aligns With American Christians' Beliefs, Study Says
2015-04-01 19:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Yale Environment 360: A majority of American Christians think global warming is happening and that the government should support research and tax policies that promote renewable sources of energy and energy efficiency, according to a new report from the Yale Project on Climate Change Communication. Among Catholics, 69 percent think global warming is happening, which is a higher percentage than Americans overall (63 percent). A majority of non-evangelical Protestants 62 percent also think global warming is occurring,...

We Could Stop Global Warming This Fix But Probably Terrible Idea

Climate Desk: Back in the late 1990s, Ken Caldeira set out to disprove the "ludicrous" idea that we could reverse global warming by filling the sky with chemicals that would partially block the sun. A few years earlier, Mount Pinatubo had erupted in the Philippines, sending tiny sulfate particles--known as aerosols--into the stratosphere, where they reflected sunlight back into space and temporarily cooled the planet. Some scientists believed that an artificial version of this process could be used to cancel out...
Watch climate scientists give global warming elevator pitches

Mashable: For years now, climate science has suffered from a monumental public relations problem. The issue of manmade climate change has become so politicized that it's easy to forget that those who are conducting research into Earth's past, present and future climate are ordinary people -- not some elite cabal of brainiacs walled off in a lab somewhere. Climate activists have often lamented the ease with which climate change contrarians have painted global warming researchers as being part of some sort...

Scientists warn of global warming threat to temperate rainforests
2015-03-13 23:40:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Mongabay: If you Google "rainforest," you're almost assured to get a page of search results mostly about the tropics. Yet, another kind of rainforest also exists: temperate rainforests. Far less expansive than the tropical kind, temperate rainforests occur in isolated patches and strips around the world from the coasts of western North America and eastern Siberia, to throughout much of New Zealand and Tasmania. In a new study published recently in Earth Systems and Environmental Sciences, researchers warn...
