We got another awesome episode from Karl B. Dont miss it! www.packfreshusa.comwww.limatangosurvival.comwww.pbnfamily.com

Australia is facing something pretty scary—a megadrought that could be unlike anything it's seen before. Scientists say the country's dry spells are getting longer and more intense, with some areas already suffering from severe water shortages. This megadrought could last for decades, making it harder for farmers to grow crops and putting pressure on wildlife and the environment.

Hey listeners! We've sharing the first episode of another podcast we think you'd love: As She Rises. On the latest season, we're traversing the Colorado River Basin –  understanding water through a new lens and centering stories of resilience in the face of the drought. Hosted by Leah Thomas, eco-communicator, author, and founder of the non-profit Intersectional Environmentalist, each episode focuses on a different corner of the basin, beginning in the river's reservoirs on the borders of Arizona and Utah, and finishing in the dry delta in Mexico.In this episode, we're starting our journey just south of Lake Powell, in the Navajo Nation. Today, Lake Powell is around a fifth of its original size. Pools that used to be deep enough to dive into have turned into puddles of mud. And as the water disappears, the forgotten canyon beneath reemerges. Over the years, the U.S. government has signed a number of treaties with the Navajo Nation, promising certain amounts of water, and water infrastructure. But, as they struggle to reallocate water in the face of drought, the government still tends to leave indigenous communities out of the conversation.Poet Kinsale Drake reads her poem, “after Sacred Water,” about how the U.S. government drowned an ecosystem to create a dam that is now shrinking fast. Emma Robbins, director of the Navajo Water Project, explains how her organization ensures households have running water, and that the Navajo Nation has a seat at the table. Wondery+ subscribers can listen to all of season 3 of As She Rises early & ad-free.

In this episode of The Wright Report, Bryan Dean Wright discusses the easing of the mega drought in the Western US due to record snow levels and its significance for the public. We then examine a lawsuit in Hawaii where children claim that road construction infringes on their rights to good health and a clean environment, and a judge's agreement. We also explore public opinion on China and the White House's ability to confront the Communist Party. Lastly, we discuss the French President's shocking statement about China and its implications, followed by a new Weekend Roundup segment with updates on Mexico and the leaked Pentagon documents.

California experienced its wettest 10-day period in 25 years as a result of a series of storms driven by atmospheric rivers in January.  The Rocky Mountains got buried in snow from the same weather pattern.   For the drought-stricken West, the storms were good news.  But they are not the cure for what's been ailing the […]

Chile is in the midst of a “megadrought” – year after year of low rainfall which has turned farmland to desert and left communities struggling to survive. But in the midst of the crisis, people in Chile have found ingenious ways of collecting, saving and cleaning water. We visit the hillside fog nets, AI powered irrigation system and a high-tech desalination plant that are helping people survive and thrive when the rains don't come.

After a contentious meeting between water managers from Nevada, Colorado, California and Arizona, we are still no closer to a fix for the severe water issues in this region of the country. With major lakes and reservoirs about to dry up, we still have no answers besides more water restrictions and more burden placed on the residents of these cities and states.Meanwhile, not one of them has even floated the idea of a new water pipeline.(commercial at 14:26)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/the-moment-of-reckoning-is-near-feds-warn-huge-cuts-needed-to-shore-up-lake-mead-colorado-river/ar-AAYx5Yr?ocid=msedgntp&cvid=b0c8483bbee44c4bb0ce72c0d1bfe0f3

The Great Salt Lake in Utah is the largest body of water in the western hemisphere without an outlet to the sea. Its levels fluctuate naturally, but scientists say the record-low water levels the lake has seen in recent years are worrying. A megadrought means less precipitation, and a growing population is taking more water before the lake can refill. Stephanie Sy reports.

Imagine a summer's day without the jingle of the ice-cream truck, a pizza without its bubbling layer of melted cheesy goodness, or even a bowl of cereal without milk. It's a shocking prospect, for sure, but the threat to these delights is perhaps even more surprising: The fact that Americans enjoy more than three times their body-weight in dairy products each year is, in no small part, due to a water-hungry plant that's frequently, if counterintuitively, grown in the desert. That plant is alfalfa, and it makes up at least half of the diet of dairy cows all over the world. So why are we growing alfalfa in the arid American Southwest, and watering it from the Colorado River—both of which, as you may have heard on the news, are becoming drier with every passing day? To find out, Gastropod went on a good old-fashioned road trip for some field reporting (literally, in an alfalfa field) and talked to farmers, economists, plant experts, journalists, and exporters about where this surprisingly important plant fits in to a warming world—and how we can prevent a future lacking in lactose without also drying up the West.

There is a serious issue that is plaguing the Southwest and Western portions of the United States. That issue is drought. Yet, besides conservation and restrictions it doesn't seem that the government, local or federally has a plan. There is one idea that really makes sense however.That idea is the Interstate Water System. An ambitious project that would see pipelines and aqueducts built to bring water to the west from areas of the abundance. Instead of that water running off into the ocean or into lakes, why not move one of our most precious resources to an area of the country where it is needed the most?(commercial at 10:36)To contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:https://bigthink.com/the-present/an-interstate-water-system-could-fix-the-wests-water-woes/

Megadrought is a term we've been hearing a lot of lately, with, as we find out from one of our guests, somewhat varying definitions. The term megadrought is generally used to describe the length of a drought, and not its acute intensity. A related term, aridity, is the degree to which climate lacks effective, life-promoting moisture. Simply put, aridity is permanent, while drought is temporary. But when drought extends multiple decades, as we are currently experiencing, is it actually aridification? We interviewed two experts in drought and aridification, Dr. Connie Woodhouse and Dr. Mike Crimmins, to talk about these different terms, and discuss the changes they have been observing, and hearing about from managers and ranchers in the Southwest.Episode Image credit: U.S. Drought Monitor - West.

Utah's Great Salt Lake is the largest saltwater lake in the western hemisphere.  According to data from the US Geological Survey, the surface water elevation of the Great Salt Lake has fallen to the lowest level since records began in the mid-1800s.  The average elevation is now 4,190 feet above sea level.   With this drop […]

The Colorado River is a 1,400-mile, life-sustaining artery for the American West – supplying water for seven states while generating hydroelectric power for millions. But experts tell NBC News' Steve Patterson that the river's power is shrinking. Steve gets exclusive access inside the Glen Canyon Dam as the crisis leads to historic water rationing, and looks into the consequences at the Grand Canyon and beyond.

Water, water everywhere and not a drop to drink. On California's coast, heat and mega-drought lead to crisis. Southern California has announced draconian water restrictions for millions to combat the driest two decades in over a thousand years. But, our government is either missing or intentionally ignoring one of the biggest causes of drought: animal agriculture. California has almost 2 million milk cows, plus other cattle. Those animals are polluting so much water and consuming so much water… and virtually nobody in power talks about it! Now, we will with one of America's leading water experts! Is it the drought solution?

The megadrought currently choking the western United States is the worst drought in the region in more than 1,000 years. It's having an enormous impact across many states and on several major reservoirs including Lake Mead, a water source for millions of people in the West. Alex Hager, who covers the Colorado River Basin for Northern Colorado Public Radio, joins Geoff Bennett to discuss. PBS NewsHour is supported by - https://www.pbs.org/newshour/about/funders

Bill Handel takes a deep look into the Supreme Court having leaked an opinion that would overturn Roe V. Wade and make abortion illegal countrywide again. In the face of a megadrought, Los Angeles is transforming how it uses water. And while landlords want to intensify the background checks of their tenants, lawmakers want new limits on screening.

The American Southwest has suffered from drought conditions since the year 2000.  The drought has reduced water supplies, devastated farmers and ranchers, and it has helped to fuel numerous wildfires across the region.  It has generally been considered to be worst in 500 years. According to a recent analysis, the drought has become so severe […]

Despite some new snow in the Sierra and local showers this week, experts say it'll take a lot more to get California out of the drought. KFBK's Aubrey Aquino has more on the drought outlook.

Utah is experiencing a "megadrought." To help conserve water, some Utah lawmakers have proposed legislation that would help install secondary water metering in the state. But what is secondary water metering and can it really help Utahns through the drought? Journalist Leia Larsen explains. Reporter Bryan Maffly discusses what could be the next state park in Beehive State. And Gov. Spencer Cox announced Friday that the state would no longer be reporting daily COVID-19 cases.

Calling it the worst drought since the year 800, climate scientists say that climate change is largely responsible.  The ground is so dry and the air is so warm, that even full and above average snowpacks in the mountains will not be able to erase the water deficit, particularly runoff into the Colorado River.  Find out how this weather situation is already impacting your diet. 

During this program, the drive to adopt V2X (vehicle to everything) connectivity is explored; how an electric motor the size of an energy drink can can aggressively propel a hyperperformance car; and how the worst drought in 1200 will impact what you can eat this spring.

Dave Black, founder of WSUM here in Madison, Wisconsin, and one of the key people who helped get TMI on the airwaves, has died less than one year after his retirement. While we shall spend most of this episode on other topics, I refused to go further without honoring the passing of this dedicated media visionary. Thank you for humoring me. Then, we talk about the dry facts surrounding the drought the southwest United States has been suffering though, including how it can be considered the worst in recorded history by several measures. Next, we examine how the very framework we use on a daily basis to talk about environmental issues has been corrupted for over 50 years now to shift as much of the blame away from corporate responsibility as possible. Finally, we briefly go over how for the first time, computer modeling has been able to successfully simulate the universe from the Big Bang through to its present state. All this and much more on TMI for Friday, February 18, 2022 - listen in for YOUR Cure for the Common Media!

RN Drive's Research Filter sifts through some of the most interesting science news of the week, and sorts fact from fiction.

An attention-grabbing headline this week warned that the Western U.S. is seeing its worst megadrought in 1200 years. Washington has been mostly spared for now, but that doesn't mean it won't impact us eventually. Assistant State Climatologist Karin Bumbaco explains.

As we publish, scientists are announcing that the last dozen years are the driest in more than a millennium. With the desert's cities ever more dependent on water from the Colorado River, how will southwestern society meet the challenge of hyper-aridity?

In the 1960s, the Bureau of Reclamation built a dam that flooded a celebrated canyon on the Utah-Arizona border. Today, it's known as Lake Powell — the second-largest reservoir in the U.S.A half billion dollar tourism industry has grown in the desert around the reservoir but a decades-long megadrought is putting its future in question. With what some call America's 'lost national park' reemerging, an old debate is also resurfacing: should we restore a beloved canyon or refill a popular and critical reservoir? Environmental and American West correspondent Nathan Rott brings this story to guest host Dan Charles. Read Nate's full story and see pictures by photojournalist Claire Harbage of their recent trip to Lake Powell here.

Earlier this summer, about a quarter of the states in the US have been suffering from droughts. Along the west, the dry conditions are creating water shortages and water access crises for cities, agriculture and fishing. And with the planet warming more and more, these droughts are set to get worse. Today, POLITICO's Annie Snider, on the effects of this year's droughts for millions in the US now and into the future. Annie Snider covers water issues for POLITICO.  Anthony Adragna is an energy reporter for POLITICO and host of POLITICO Energy. Carlos Prieto is a Politico podcast producer. Raghu Manavalan is an editor for POLITICO Audio. Jenny Ament is the senior producer of POLITICO audio.

The ongoing severe drought in the western U.S. has led to low water levels in the rivers and reservoirs that feed hydroelectric power systems.  The Energy Information Administration is projecting a 13.9% decrease in hydroelectric generation this year compared to 2020. Water levels in Lake Powell have fallen so low that it may not be […]

Look at the U.S. Drought Monitor map, and you will see that the Western United States is in extreme drought conditions. During the California drought of 2012-2016, the state's Climate Change Assessment report indicated that 2014 was the driest year in 1,200 years. Five years later, we are experiencing an even deeper drought that is impacting everything from food production to hydroelectric power. In 2016, we spoke with Jeff Kightlinger, the GM and CEO of the largest water utility in the country, Metropolitan Water District (MWD), and today he will join us to give us an update on the current state of our water supply and the solutions being considered- both in CA and throughout the West.

The megadrought in the West and High Plains is hurting big game like mule deer and cold-water fish species like trout and salmon. Scorching temps are evaporating moisture from browse and creating dry tinder for the wildfires that are growing bigger and more frequent. Meanwhile, drought is hitting the Dakotas hard and causing problems in the prairie pothole region. The real question: Is this the new normal?

What I learned a year into this pandemic, 56% of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck — and 43% really need the third stimulus, Megadrought emerging in western U.S. could be the worst in 1,200 years, "Is the US At Risk of a Roman Republic-Style Collapse? This Historian Says Yes.", and Steven Donziger has been under house arrest for over 580 days. What I learned a year into this pandemic - Slim Profit Margins, how fragile millions of jobs are, U.S. mental health and healthcare, bad spending habits, shitty minimum wage, neither political side wanted to change anything fundamentally, protests over wearing a stupid piece of cloth, how shitty the old normal really was and the fact that so many were desperate to jump back into that old normal because of how terrified they were of change and the denial of climate change. 56% of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck — and 43% really need the third stimulus - source "It's no surprise that the pandemic hurt Americans' finances. But even after a year of Covid, the numbers are still striking: More than half, 56%, of adults are living “paycheck to paycheck” and 43% say they are “extremely” or “very” reliant on the third round of government stimulus checks arriving this month." Megadrought emerging in western U.S. could be the worst in 1,200 years - source "We now have enough observations of current drought and tree-ring records of past drought to say that we're on the same trajectory as the worst prehistoric droughts," says lead author Park Williams, a research professor in the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory at Columbia University. "Is the US At Risk of a Roman Republic-Style Collapse? This Historian Says Yes." - source "When people say “This is the end of the Roman Empire,” that's when I say, I don't think that's true. This is not a situation where we are entering total state collapse and there is going to be like a kingdom of California, a confederation of principalities. I don't think we're at that kind of state collapse. That would be overblown. The United States as an entity will continue on. But when you're talking about its political system, what does American democracy look like, what does representative government look like, what does a participatory government look like? For 500 years the Romans had a fairly participatory system. It was an oligarchy run by rich senators, but there were assemblies ... Those guys did still have to troll for votes. They still needed to win elections in order to get ahead." Steven Donziger has been under house arrest for over 580 days - source 'I've Been Targeted With Probably the Most Vicious Corporate Counterattack in American History' Steven Donziger has been under house arrest for over 580 days, awaiting trial on a misdemeanor charge. It's all, he says, because he beat a multinational energy corporation in court. Steven Donziger is an American attorney known for his legal battles with Chevron, particularly the Lago Agrio oil field case. Produced by The Wild 1 Media.
