In this photo taken April 1, 2017, members of a California Cooperative Snow Survey team ski toward Bishop Pass in Inyo National Forest near Bishop, Calif. Despite new technologies, California's snowpack is still measured the old-fashioned way: by skiers who manually measure the depth and water content of the snowpack. The practice remains an important way to verify and fine-tune remotely collected data. (AP Photo/Brian Melley) (AP)

The federal government will be pouring nearly a quarter-billion dollars into several dozen projects aimed at tackling the effects of drought in the West and restoring watersheds that provide drinking water to communities around the nation. The head of the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Natural Resources Conservation Service, Jason Weller, said Wednesday, Dec. 21, 2016, that in addition to the federal funds, the projects will leverage close to $500 million from state, local and private partners.

In the annual Arctic Report Card, released Tuesday, Dec. 15, 2015 by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. a record emerged for sea ice, which appears when Arctic Ocean water freezes. If governments are serious about the global warming targets they adopted in Paris, scientists say they have two options: eliminating fossil fuels immediately or finding ways to undo their damage to the climate system in the future. The first is politically impossible _ the world is still hooked on using oil, coal and natural gas _ which leaves the option of a major cleanup of the atmosphere later this century.
