While there was room for improvement, this package of policy bills represented a very important step forward toward resolution of the deep crisis affecting the Bay-Delta system.”There are hard decisions to be made, but there are solutions that can get us on the right track and we owe it to future generations and hard-hit farming communities to make those decisions as soon as possible,” said Cynthia Koehler, senior consulting attorney to EDF.”The Bay-Delta is one of the most important estuaries along the west coast of North America and the hub of our state’s water supply system and the future of our cities, farms and our environment. In fact, the future of much of our great state of California depends on getting to consensus on modernizing our water policy framework and moving forward,” said Laura Harnish, Regional Director of EDF’s California office.###About Environmental Defense Fund A leading national nonprofit organization, Environmental Defense Fund represents more than 700,000 members.

| Another Factor that Impacts our Climate UCLA atmospheric scientists have discovered a previously unknown basic mode of energy transfer from the solar wind to the Earth’s magnetosphere. The research, federally funded by the National Science Foundation, could improve the safety and reliability of spacecraft that operate in the upper atmosphere. “It’s like something else is heating the atmosphere besides the sun. This discovery is like finding it got hotter when the sun went down,” said Larry Lyons, UCLA professor of atmospheric and oceanic sciences and a co-author of the research, which is in press in two companion papers in the Journal of Geophysical Research. |
