California's Dam Crisis Says About the Changing Climate</a></b><br>
<blockquote>Our water system was designed and built in an old
climate, one in which extremely warm years were less common and
snowpack was more reliable. Here in the West, we use the same dams
and reservoirs for both water storage and flood control, so during
the wet season, reservoir managers continuously balance the dual
pressures of storing as much water as possible for the dry summer
and releasing sufficient water to create room for the next
storm...<br>
This system relies on the natural reservoir of mountain snowpack,
which melts gradually over the spring and summer. While it is well
known that much of the West relies on snowpack for water storage,
the vital role of snowpack in flood control is considerably less
appreciated. When precipitation falls as snow, it stays in the
mountains rather than flowing into reservoirs. This leaves more
room in reservoirs to prevent flooding downstream during heavy
rainfall.<br>

system science at Stanford.</i><br>

<blockquote>The War on Science is more than a skirmish over funding,
censorship, and "alternative facts". It's a battle for the future,
basic decency, and the people we love...<br>
Make no mistake: There is a War on Science in America.<br>
The White House not only denies obvious, empirical facts on a
regular basis, but they have invented the Orwellian concept of
"alternative facts". In the past, we simply called them "lies",
but now they are used in the world's most powerful office. And
that should scare all of us...<br>
What's worse is that the White House and many members of Congress
aren't just anti-fact, they are against the pursuit of facts, and
have tried to place draconian restrictions on what federal
scientists can research, publish, and even discuss. And god knows
what will happen to our nation's long-standing investments in
research and science education.<br>
This attack on science, and on knowledge itself, goes beyond
anything we have seen in America before. And it is not only
dangerous to science, it is dangerous to our nation and the
world....<br>
"The greatness of America is strengthened by science—it helps us
lift people up, improve the human condition, and build a better
world."<br>
"Let's be clear: those who conduct a War on Science are also
declaring war on the people we love. If they get their way, people
will die. And I'm going to fight to make sure that doesn't happen.
You should too."<br>

<blockquote>(Vox) In the latest instance of the corporate takeover
of the First Amendment — and other constitutional rights — Exxon
Mobil, the world's largest oil and gas corporation, has invented a
constitutional right to obstruct state investigations into
allegations of fraud...<br>
Investigations by the Massachusetts and New York attorneys general
began late last year after the Los Angeles Times reported that
Exxon scientists and executives have known for decades about the
connection between fossil fuel consumption and the likelihood of
catastrophic changes in the Earth's atmosphere and climate...<br>
The report alleged that as early as the 1980s, Exxon scientists
were warning the company in internal communications that global
climate change could "indeed be catastrophic (at least for a
substantial fraction of the earth's population)." According to the
journalists' report, Exxon's internal teams used that information
for purposes of assessing the potential for profitable investment
in new oil exploration and production. Yet these were the same
climate models that Exxon "dismissed as unreliable and based on
uncertain science" in statements to investors, consumers, and the
general public. <br>

Global hydropower boom will add to climate change</a></b></font><br>
<blockquote>Mongabay.com - And it isn't good news. ... Over a
100-year timeframe, methane's effect on global warming is more
than 30 times, and nitrous oxide's effect is almost ...<br>
-- For many years new hydropower dams were assumed to be zero
greenhouse gas emitters. Now with 847 large (more than 100 MW) and
2,853 smaller (more than 1 MW) hydropower projects currently
planned or under construction around the world, a new global study
has shown that dam reservoirs are major greenhouse gas emitters.<br>
-- The study looked at the carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4),
and nitrous oxide (N2O) emitted from 267 reservoirs across six
continents. Globally, the researchers estimate that reservoirs
contribute 1.3 percent of human-made greenhouse gas emissions,
comparable to those from rice paddy cultivation or biomass
burning.<br>
-- Reservoir emissions are not currently counted within the UN
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (UN IPCC) emissions
assessments, but they should be, argue the researchers. In fact,
countries are currently eligible under the UN's Clean Development
Mechanism (CDM) to receive carbon credits for newly built dams.<br>
-- The study raises the question as to whether hydropower should
continue to be counted as green power or be eligible for UN CDM
carbon credits...<br>

<blockquote> NPR's Christopher Joyce reports: (Audio 4:00 )<br>
"Most [climate scientists] don't see a contradiction between a
warming world and lots of snow. That includes Kevin Trenberth, a
prominent climate scientist at the National Center for Atmospheric
Research in Colorado.<br>
"'The fact that the oceans are warmer now than they were, say, 30
years ago means there's about on average 4 percent more water
vapor lurking around over the oceans than there was, say, in the
1970s,' he says.<br>
"Warmer water means more water vapor rises up into the air, and
what goes up must come down.<br>
"'So one of the consequences of a warming ocean near a coastline
like the East Coast and Washington, D.C., for instance, is that
you can get dumped on with more snow partly as a consequence of
global warming,' he says.<br>
"And Trenberth notes that you don't need very cold temperatures to
get big snow. In fact, when the mercury drops too low, it may be
too cold to snow."<br>
