*Drought emergency declared for all Southern California*
BY HAYLEY SMITH, IAN JAMES
DEC. 14, 2022
As California faces the prospect of a fourth consecutive dry year, 
officials with the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California 
have declared a regional drought emergency and called on water agencies 
to immediately reduce their use of all imported supplies.

The decision from the MWD’s board came about eight months after 
officials declared a similar emergency for 7 million people who are 
dependent on supplies from the State Water Project, a vast network of 
reservoirs, canals and dams that convey water from Northern California. 
Residents reliant on California’s other major supply — the Colorado 
River — had not been included in that emergency declaration.

“Conditions on the Colorado River are growing increasingly dire,” MWD 
Chairwoman Gloria Gray said in a statement. “We simply cannot continue 
turning to that source to make up the difference in our limited state 
supplies. In addition, three years of California drought are drawing 
down our local storage.”...

“One of the biggest areas where we use water is outdoor irrigation,” 
Houston said. “That’s really one of the best tools in our toolbox right 
now to reduce the need for some of that imported water.”

As officials continue to weigh their options for the Colorado River, the 
mandatory measures in State Water Project-dependent areas will continue 
through at least June and possibly longer, the MWD said.

“Some Southern Californians may have felt somewhat protected from these 
extreme conditions over the past few years,” Gray said. “They shouldn’t 
anymore. We are all affected.”

*Bizarre Tucker Carlson Guest Rambles About 'Climate Vaccines,' 'Phony 
Climate War'*
The Fox News host's recent segment took some surprising turns—including 
an unintentionally smart proposal to ban private jets.
By Molly Taft
Published 12-14-22
Remember when Tucker Carlson claimed climate activists want to shrink 
America’s kids? Well, buckle up: The Fox News host aired another 
nonsense climate segment on his show on Monday evening, during which his 
guest mused that the Left could have “climate vaccines” ...
- -
I don’t write about this stuff to make everyone feel like they’ve lost 
grip on reality, although I’m happy to have you join me in feeling like 
your brain is melting out of your ears. Carlson is an incredibly 
influential figure in Republican politics and a juggernaut of 
conservative cable news. Wild, nonsensical shit with zero basis in 
science or reality is a good look at how the Republican party is 
pitching climate science to its base. And there are seeds of tired 
rhetoric in the slop served up here: the idea that climate regulations 
are Communist, the familiar Republican obsession with trees being a 
fix-all climate solution, the comparative lack of focus on actual 
science—a hands-off “we don’t know what CO2 is actually doing, but 
regulations are bad” kind of approach. (Even Bastardi’s jokes about 
weather control are close to some Q-Anon conspiracies members of 
Congress have espoused.)...

*Message From The Future | Wendy Schultz*
Planet: Critical
Dec 14, 2022
Wendy Schultz is an academically trained futurist with over thirty-five 
years of global foresight practice. Director at Infinite Futures, she 
has designed futures research projects for NGOs, government agencies, 
and businesses.

Wendy and I discuss the Law in the Emerging Bio-Age report she recently 
published, which asked how legal structures can support second chances 
at improving human relations with living systems and our planet. We also 
discuss how to bridle the finance industry to support a just transition, 
the role of activism, governments’ relationship to information, and, 
more generally, how to solve wicked problems.

/[from the news archive - We are "shocked, SHOCKED to discover", 
deliberate disinformation at Fox News ]/
/*December 15, 2010*/
December 15, 2010: Media Matters reports on a leaked memo that reveals 
the Fox News Channel's unfairness and imbalance with regard to climate 
science:

"In the midst of global climate change talks last December, a top Fox 
News official sent an email questioning the 'veracity of climate change 
data' and ordering the network's journalists to 'refrain from asserting 
that the planet has warmed (or cooled) in any given period without 
IMMEDIATELY pointing out that such theories are based upon data that 
critics have called into question.'

"The directive, sent by Fox News Washington managing editor Bill Sammon, 
was issued less than 15 minutes after Fox correspondent Wendell Goler 
accurately reported on-air that the United Nations' World Meteorological 
Organization announced that 2000-2009 was 'on track to be the warmest 
[decade] on record.'

"This latest revelation comes after Media Matters uncovered an email 
sent by Sammon to Fox journalists at the peak of the health care reform 
debate, ordering them to avoid using the term 'public option' and 
instead use variations of 'government option.' That email echoed advice 
from a prominent Republican pollster on how to help turn public opinion 
against health care reform.

"Sources familiar with the situation in Fox's Washington bureau have 
expressed concern about Sammon using his position to 'slant' Fox's 
supposedly neutral news coverage to the right."
