2015-03-14 12:46:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Frisky: Today in apocalyptic sounding headlines, NASA scientist Jay Famiglietti was published in the Los Angeles Times` op-ed section saying that California has about one year left of water. This has been caused by a variety of factors that started well before the droughts. I remember the `80s and early-`90s as a kid, when the California water problem was spoken about often when Earth Day was trendy.

State oil and gas regulators have acknowledged "routinely" allowing oil and gas producers to inject steam underground at pressure so high that it cracks open underground rock formations, in violation of state and federal regulation, according to a state Senate report prepared for Tuesday's joint hearing by the Senate's environmental quality and natural resources and water committees.
