Residents of this farm worker community in the San Joaquin Valley will soon be enjoying safe drinking water straight from their own taps thanks to a new $11 million water treatment plant built with state and federal funds. #CAWater

In #cawater news this weekend: Farmers sell off fields ahead of SGMA; Friant-Kern Canal getting bipartisan love – but no money; Pattern change to bring drier trend through mid-December; Trump takes aim at trickle-down toilets, faucets; and more … https://t.co/CCfLP2nlQ3

GDP is an imperfect measure. When someone breaks their arm and pays for a cast, GDP goes up. We know air pollution contributes to premature deaths. My colleagues (@PTschofen et al.) argue we should deduct these deaths (gross external damages) from GDP. https://t.co/LP9apqQY27

Three banners, three drops. The Kieshaun White Cleaner Air Experiment and Sunrise Movement made three banners for the #GreenNewDeal. They dropped the banners in three locations: at Fresno City Hall, an overpass on Highway 99 and California Dairies.

Unusually warm and unstable airmass today across NorCal has resulted in some torrential convective downpours and thunderstorms along with locally significant #flooding, including in #SanFrancisco and #Redding. More heavy showers possible tonight. #CAwx

Rep. Devin Nunes is dodging questions about whether he spoke with indicted Giuliani associate Lev Parnas - despite the phone records that show an 8-minute conversation between them. https://t.co/i67YjKic5x

It’s cooking around the planet, but nowhere like in the Arctic...

US electricity generation from coal has plunged to below 1980 levels, and an ostensibly coal-friendly Republican administration has not slowed the decline. Insightful piece by @hausfath and @LaurenRAnders1:
