After a worryingly weak start to the winter for California’s mountains, two storms — including what’s expected to be the biggest of the season so far — are expected to dump several inches of snow on the Sierra Nevada this week, days after some promising weekend snowfall.
Water, the stuff of life, behaves differently than most other matter in our universe: as it cools to take its solid form, it expands. This thermodynamic fact (called anomalous density) affords water the power to split solid granite. Water has also proven capable of dividing sovereign nations states, and tribes. The water in the Colorado […]
One liter of water, equivalent to two standard-size bottled waters, contained an average of 240,000 plastic particles. These particles belonged to seven different types of plastics, with 90 per cent identified as nanoplastics and the remaining as microplastics, the details were found in a study, as per a report.
There hasn’t been as much snow in the Sierra to date compared to last year. However, a second Sierra storm within a week is being welcomed by scientists at the UC Berkeley Central Sierra Snow Lab.
It seems anywhere scientists look for plastic, they find it: from the ice in Antarctica, to the first bowel movement produced by newborn babies. Now, researchers are finding that the amount of microscopic plastics floating in bottled drinking water is far greater than initially believed.
The numbers are in, and scientists can now confirm what month after month of extraordinary heat worldwide began signaling long ago. Last year was Earth’s warmest by far in a century and a half.
