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.

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.

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.

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.
