Releasing water that we will almost certainly need to get us through summer, fall and potential future drought puts 40 million Californians at risk. And snowpack levels are below historical averages, making that water all the more precious. This is a handout to Trumps donors in the Central Valley….

#Trump has a faulty understanding of CA's water system. In a time of extreme crisis, he's using this emergency to line the pockets of industrial agricultural producers in the San Joaquin Valley rather than meeting the needs of everyday Californians

“The fires serve as a powerful reminder that Los Angeles was not built for global warming — and that surviving continued temperature increases will require us to reimagine our infrastructure, our housing, our financial systems and more.” We can’t return to business as usual.
Los Angeles is burning. Fossil fuel companies laid the kindling. Soon the world will stop caring.
If we don't demand better from the rich & powerful who can do more than anyone to slow the climate crisis, the fires will change nothing. My @latimes.com column: www.latimes.com/environment/...

If you think America’s finally going to deal with global warming because L.A. is burning, think again.

Great reporting by @laist.com on the #LAFires. So much misinformation to combat. Water resource & wildfire management is incredibly complex. We need to come together not point blame. Experts like UCLA’s Greg Pierce highlight limitations not failures of the system.

Why did water hydrants run dry in the midst of a conflagration? City officials stressed that the shortage was due to low water pressure, not a complete lack of water. But what caused it, and can it be...

"As fires grow larger and more intense in the West, should storage tanks and other local water infrastructure be expanded to contend with them? Where? And at what cost?" This story is a powerful reminder that our cities were not built for climate change: www.latimes.com/environment/...
Why hydrants ran dry as firefighters battled California's deadly fires
Firefighters in Pacific Palisades and Altadena have repeatedly been hampered by low water pressure and dry hydrants, revealing limitations in local water systems designed to supply neighborhoods.
