Bouys that once blocked motorboat access to the Three Roof Ruin in Utah sit on the bank of the Escalante River, a tributary to Lake Powell, now exposed as the lake retreats under the deepening Southwest #drought.

Above-average Feb. precipitation in much of the region led to substantial increases in #snowpack in northern CO, northern UT, and WY. March 1 seasonal runoff forecasts still remain below to much-below normal. Learn more in our IWCD Feb. #climate briefing. https://t.co/LD12zZ3sX3

A black woman inadvertently drove into a protest scene. Philly cops pulled her from her car and beat her in front of her toddler. America’s largest police union then posted a photo of the boy and claimed his mother had abandoned him on the street.

We’ve seen a 2-degree F increase across the western U.S., since the late 1800s. This has led to a doubling of forests that have burned in the west since the 1980s. Places in W & N Colorado that have seen twice the increase in temperatures, compared with the global average.

The Columbine school shooting shocked America. As of today, it is no longer one of the 10 deadliest shootings in modern US history.
