Jerry Brown unveiled an austere spending plan for the fiscal year that will begin in July, returning to familiar rhetoric warning of an impending economic downturn and adding new notes of caution about how Republicans' dominance in Washington, D.C., could impact California's bottom line.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[soundcloud url=\"https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/302085705\" params=\"color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false\" width=\"100%\" height=\"166\" iframe=\"true\" /]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown, announcing his budget Tuesday just 10 days before President-elect Donald Trump takes office, warned that this year could be the most difficult since 2012 as the \"surging tide of revenues we have enjoyed the past few years appear to have turned.\" He said the state has a $2 billion budget deficit -- far less than the $27 billion shortfall he inherited, but still important. Brown said that, in general, California's budget surpluses are far smaller than its deficits \"and that really is the challenge of California.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The trajectory of revenue growth is declining ... but is still growing,\" Brown said. \"So compared to many other places in the world ...

Brown said as he unveiled his new budget on Tuesday in Sacramento. \u003ccite>(Marisa Lagos/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>To deal with the declining revenues, Brown said he is proposing to roll back some planned spending increases to education and to eliminate a $400 million fund for affordable housing that was not spent last year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown also wants to halt $300 million in spending on modernizing state office buildings. And, the governor said he will keep spending flat by pausing rate increases for child care and not allowing any new students to qualify for a higher education scholarship fund.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the governor said he will protect what he called the Capitol's \"most important achievements\" under his watch -- education spending increases, an earned income tax credit for the working poor, a rising minimum wage and adding millions of Californians to the rolls of the insured. And he said he will again propose a transportation package that would add $43 billion over 10 years to help shore up roads, highways and bridges. It would be funded through new vehicle fees, an increase in the gas tax and an increase to the diesel excise tax.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"caCOvJvHD34SXS0CpFdcpXq2usWDsb9a\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On climate change -- one of Brown's signature issues -- the governor said he wants lawmakers to take up the state's cap-and-trade system and approve it by a two-thirds vote. The program has been in court after legal challenges that in part center around the fact that a majority, not a supermajority, of the Legislature authorized the program. Brown said that uncertainty is impacting its financial success.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's a very important program that's part of our climate change strategy,\" he said, noting that with people hostile to climate change policies taking over the federal government, \"the whole world is looking to us. ... We ought to continue.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said he is making no assumptions about what Congress and President-elect Trump will do -- particularly around health care -- but that he's not budgeting based on things that haven't yet occurred.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There are too many uncertainties that could put a massive hole in the budget,\" he said. \"This budget can move very quickly -- what I call riding the tide.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"tRtfzyVVZJm5TboxPPr0Smmh0UnOeqLB\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That could go the other way, he said -- revenues could increase in coming months.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state's financial volatility, Brown said, is largely because of what the governor called the state's \"progressive\" tax structure that relies on capital gains taxes from its wealthiest residents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"California has the most progressive tax system in the U.S. -- but as a a corollary, we have one of the most unreliable revenue systems in the country and to manage it reliably requires prudence.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown said that's why he's pushed the state to save money in good years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If you want a progressive tax system, you need a big rainy day fund,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Republicans had a mixed reaction to Brown's budget proposal. Senate Minority Leader Jean Fuller (R-Bakersfield) said more money should be going to the state's reserve funds and toward paying down the state's pension liabilities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"But we agree with the governor that a spending decrease solution is far better than a tax increase solution at this time,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Assemblyman Jay Obernolte, R-Hesperia, rejected the governor's plan to increase gas taxes to fund road and highway repairs. Legislative Democrats have made similar proposals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We are already paying the highest gas taxes in the country,\" Obernolte said. \"And there are large sections of revenue that we can return to funding state road and highway construction that are not being so spent right now.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While Democratic lawmakers generally commended Brown's cautious approach, they pushed back on the lack of funding in some areas. Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon (D- Los Angeles) criticized Brown's plan to phase out the Middle Class Scholarship Program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We must work to keep college affordable for California students, and I will not support burdening them with higher fees and greater student debt — whether that's done by raising tuition or phasing out the Middle Class Scholarship,\" Rendon said in a statement. \"Ending the Middle Class Scholarship would increase the cost of a student’s four year education by up to $9,000 at CSU and up to $20,000 at UC.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The lack of new funding for affordable housing concerned Assemblyman David Chiu, D-San Francisco, who chairs the Assembly housing committee.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"(Brown) repeated his position that the answer is to streamline housing approvals, and I share the perspective that many jurisdictions around our state are not doing enough to build homes for our residents, especially in areas where job growth is dramatically outpacing housing creation,\" Chiu said in a statement. \"But the market alone will never solve the housing crisis for struggling Californians.\"\u003c/p>\n\n",

Jerry Brown unveiled an austere spending plan for the fiscal year that will begin in July, returning to familiar rhetoric warning of an impending economic downturn and adding new notes of caution about how Republicans' dominance in Washington, D.C., could impact California's bottom line.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cdiv class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__shortcodes__shortcodeWrapper'>\n \u003ciframe width='100%' height='166'\n scrolling='no' frameborder='no'\n src='https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/302085705&visual=true&color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false'\n title='https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/302085705'>\n \u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/div>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown, announcing his budget Tuesday just 10 days before President-elect Donald Trump takes office, warned that this year could be the most difficult since 2012 as the \"surging tide of revenues we have enjoyed the past few years appear to have turned.\" He said the state has a $2 billion budget deficit -- far less than the $27 billion shortfall he inherited, but still important. Brown said that, in general, California's budget surpluses are far smaller than its deficits \"and that really is the challenge of California.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The trajectory of revenue growth is declining ... but is still growing,\" Brown said. \"So compared to many other places in the world ...

And, the governor said he will keep spending flat by pausing rate increases for child care and not allowing any new students to qualify for a higher education scholarship fund.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the governor said he will protect what he called the Capitol's \"most important achievements\" under his watch -- education spending increases, an earned income tax credit for the working poor, a rising minimum wage and adding millions of Californians to the rolls of the insured. And he said he will again propose a transportation package that would add $43 billion over 10 years to help shore up roads, highways and bridges. It would be funded through new vehicle fees, an increase in the gas tax and an increase to the diesel excise tax.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On climate change -- one of Brown's signature issues -- the governor said he wants lawmakers to take up the state's cap-and-trade system and approve it by a two-thirds vote. The program has been in court after legal challenges that in part center around the fact that a majority, not a supermajority, of the Legislature authorized the program. Brown said that uncertainty is impacting its financial success.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's a very important program that's part of our climate change strategy,\" he said, noting that with people hostile to climate change policies taking over the federal government, \"the whole world is looking to us. ... We ought to continue.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said he is making no assumptions about what Congress and President-elect Trump will do -- particularly around health care -- but that he's not budgeting based on things that haven't yet occurred.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There are too many uncertainties that could put a massive hole in the budget,\" he said. \"This budget can move very quickly -- what I call riding the tide.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That could go the other way, he said -- revenues could increase in coming months.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state's financial volatility, Brown said, is largely because of what the governor called the state's \"progressive\" tax structure that relies on capital gains taxes from its wealthiest residents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"California has the most progressive tax system in the U.S. -- but as a a corollary, we have one of the most unreliable revenue systems in the country and to manage it reliably requires prudence.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown said that's why he's pushed the state to save money in good years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If you want a progressive tax system, you need a big rainy day fund,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Republicans had a mixed reaction to Brown's budget proposal. Senate Minority Leader Jean Fuller (R-Bakersfield) said more money should be going to the state's reserve funds and toward paying down the state's pension liabilities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"But we agree with the governor that a spending decrease solution is far better than a tax increase solution at this time,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Assemblyman Jay Obernolte, R-Hesperia, rejected the governor's plan to increase gas taxes to fund road and highway repairs. Legislative Democrats have made similar proposals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We are already paying the highest gas taxes in the country,\" Obernolte said. \"And there are large sections of revenue that we can return to funding state road and highway construction that are not being so spent right now.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While Democratic lawmakers generally commended Brown's cautious approach, they pushed back on the lack of funding in some areas. Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon (D- Los Angeles) criticized Brown's plan to phase out the Middle Class Scholarship Program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We must work to keep college affordable for California students, and I will not support burdening them with higher fees and greater student debt — whether that's done by raising tuition or phasing out the Middle Class Scholarship,\" Rendon said in a statement. \"Ending the Middle Class Scholarship would increase the cost of a student’s four year education by up to $9,000 at CSU and up to $20,000 at UC.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The lack of new funding for affordable housing concerned Assemblyman David Chiu, D-San Francisco, who chairs the Assembly housing committee.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

On one recent day, this doctor was Daniel Nadeau, wandering the cereal aisle with Allison Scott, offering ideas on how to feed kids who studiously avoid anything that tastes healthy.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">'What people eat can be medicine or poison.'\u003ccite>Dr. Brenda Rea,\u003cbr>\nLoma Linda University School of Medicine\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>“Have you thought about trying smoothies in the morning?” he asks her. “The frozen blueberries and raspberries are a little cheaper, and berries are really good for the brain.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Scott knows about smoothies, actually. She's been cooking a plant-based diet for her family for about nine months, a decision prompted by her husband being diagnosed with systemic inflammation. Scott cooks a couple of hours a day to prepare meals from whole foods. So when she saw a doctor in Ralph's, Scott says, she was delighted to find someone talking about the very thing that has been consuming her life: food as medicine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nadeau is program director of the nearby \u003ca href=\"https://www.hoag.org/specialties-services/other-programs-services/diabetes-center/\" target=\"_blank\">Mary and Dick Allen Diabetes Center\u003c/a>, part of the \u003ca href=\"http://www.stjosephhoaghealth.org/\" target=\"_blank\">St. Joseph Hoag Health\u003c/a> alliance.

Part of the work is learning about nutrition and making time to cook, says Scott, who in the beginning ran all her menus past a nutritionist, and sometimes uses a service that delivers her a box of organic food and recipes to prepare it. And for her, another part is getting her two boys, 5 and 8, to make the same changes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I always make them try a bite of every single thing I make,\" she says. \"The kids get so mad at me, still, even though they're starting to eat better.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>A Small Revolution Brewing\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Scott and Nadeau are part of a small revolution brewing across California. The food-as-medicine movement has been around for decades, but it's making new inroads as physicians and medical institutions make food a formal part of treatment, rather than relying solely on medications.

Nonetheless, physicians say they look at the cumulative data and a clear picture emerges: that the salt, sugar, fat and processed foods in the American diet contribute to the nation’s high rates of obesity, diabetes and heart disease. According to the World Health Organization, \u003ca href=\"http://www.who.int/chp/chronic_disease_report/full_report.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">80 percent of deaths\u003c/a> from heart disease and stroke are caused by high blood pressure, tobacco use, elevated cholesterol and low consumption of fruits and vegetables.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s a different paradigm of how to treat disease,” says Dr. Brenda Rea, who helps run the family and preventive medicine residency program at Loma Linda University School of Medicine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Choosing What Foods to Prescribe\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The lifestyle medicine subspecialty is designed to train doctors in how to prevent and treat disease, in part, by changing patients' nutritional habits.

"content": "\u003cp>With steamy nights, sticky days and torrential downpours, last year went down as one of the warmest and wildest weather years on record in the United States.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration \u003ca href=\"https://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/sotc/national/201613\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">announced Monday\u003c/a> that 2016 was the second hottest year in the U.S. as Alaska warmed dramatically and nighttime temperatures set a record.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The U.S. also notched its second highest number of weather disasters that cost at least $1 billion in damage: 15 separate ones together caused $46 billion in damage and 138 deaths.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Later this month, global temperatures will be calculated, giving climate scientists more information as they monitor the planet’s warming.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The regular tally of the nation’s weather year shows that even on a smaller scale—the U.S. is only 2 percent of the Earth’s area—climate change is becoming more noticeable even amid the natural variations that play such a large role in day to day weather.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The average temperature last year in the Lower 48 states was 54.9 degrees (12.7 Celsius), nearly 3 degrees above the 20th Century average of 52 (11.1 Celsius). It’s the 20th consecutive year that the United States was warmer than normal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Only 2012’s 55.3 (12.9 Celsius)degrees was warmer in the 122 years of U.S. record keeping.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It is certainly a data point on a trend that we’ve seen: a general warming,” said Deke Arndt, climate monitoring chief at NOAA’s National Centers for Environmental Information in Asheville, North Carolina.. “All five of the warmest years on record have been since 1998 in the U.S.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While 2016 didn’t quite break the overall heat record, Alaska had its hottest year by far, beating 2014’s old record by 1.6 degrees. Also, the nation’s nighttime low temperature was the hottest on record, a key issue because it hurts agriculture, costs more in air conditioning and makes it harder for people’s bodies to recover from the summer heat, Arndt said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>NOAA also found that it was the fourth consecutive wetter than normal year in the nation, even as droughts remained nasty in some places. “We are seeing bigger doses of rain in smaller amounts of time,” Arndt said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That led to four different inland floods that cost $1 billion or more, including heavy sudden flooding in Houston, West Virginia and twice in Louisiana. That’s the most NOAA has seen, twice as many as the previous high for inland flooding.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hotter summer nights, warming farther north and concentrated bursts of heavy rain amid drought are all signs of man-made climate change long predicted by scientists, Arndt said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The fact that the U.S. has seen the two warmest years (2012 and 2016) within the past five years cannot be explained by chance. It bears the fingerprint of human-caused climate change,” Pennsylvania State University climate scientist Michael Mann said in an email.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last year’s 15 billion-dollar weather disasters count is second to 2011, when there were 16 in the United States. NOAA’s billion-dollar disaster calculations — which are adjusted for inflation — goes back to 1980. In addition to flooding, other billion dollar disasters included Hurricane Matthew, wildfires, drought, tornadoes and hail storms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other records in 2016: Georgia and the U.S. Southeast as a whole had their warmest years, and the Upper Midwest had its wettest year.\u003c/p>\n\n",

It’s the 20th consecutive year that the United States was warmer than normal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Only 2012’s 55.3 (12.9 Celsius)degrees was warmer in the 122 years of U.S. record keeping.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It is certainly a data point on a trend that we’ve seen: a general warming,” said Deke Arndt, climate monitoring chief at NOAA’s National Centers for Environmental Information in Asheville, North Carolina.. “All five of the warmest years on record have been since 1998 in the U.S.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While 2016 didn’t quite break the overall heat record, Alaska had its hottest year by far, beating 2014’s old record by 1.6 degrees. Also, the nation’s nighttime low temperature was the hottest on record, a key issue because it hurts agriculture, costs more in air conditioning and makes it harder for people’s bodies to recover from the summer heat, Arndt said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>NOAA also found that it was the fourth consecutive wetter than normal year in the nation, even as droughts remained nasty in some places. “We are seeing bigger doses of rain in smaller amounts of time,” Arndt said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That led to four different inland floods that cost $1 billion or more, including heavy sudden flooding in Houston, West Virginia and twice in Louisiana. That’s the most NOAA has seen, twice as many as the previous high for inland flooding.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hotter summer nights, warming farther north and concentrated bursts of heavy rain amid drought are all signs of man-made climate change long predicted by scientists, Arndt said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The fact that the U.S. has seen the two warmest years (2012 and 2016) within the past five years cannot be explained by chance. It bears the fingerprint of human-caused climate change,” Pennsylvania State University climate scientist Michael Mann said in an email.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last year’s 15 billion-dollar weather disasters count is second to 2011, when there were 16 in the United States. NOAA’s billion-dollar disaster calculations — which are adjusted for inflation — goes back to 1980. In addition to flooding, other billion dollar disasters included Hurricane Matthew, wildfires, drought, tornadoes and hail storms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other records in 2016: Georgia and the U.S. Southeast as a whole had their warmest years, and the Upper Midwest had its wettest year.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

We need to control our own destiny.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Climate change scenarios anticipate, as temperatures rise, more Sierra precipitation will fall as rain rather than snow. That means the mountain snowpack that California has relied upon historically to survive its hot summers may no longer be sufficient.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">The Nevada Irrigation District conceived Centennial Dam in 1927, and water rights for the project have been held ‘in trust’ ever since.\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>The Centennial proposal would store 110,000 acre-feet (\u003cspan class=\"caps\">135.7\u003c/span> million cubic meters) of water by building a dam 275 feet (84m) tall across the Bear River, near the town of Meadow Vista.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That would make it larger than any of the district’s existing \u003ca href=\"http://nidwater.com/water-service/about-your-water/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003cspan class=\"s2\">10 reservoirs\u003c/span>\u003c/a>, and it would be one of the largest dams built in California in some time. For example, \u003ca href=\"http://www.ccwater.com/435/Los-Vaqueros-Project-History\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003cspan class=\"s2\">Los Vaqueros Reservoir\u003c/span>\u003c/a>, built by Contra Costa Water District, was 100,000 acre-feet (\u003cspan class=\"caps\">123.3\u003c/span> million cubic meters) when first constructed in 1998 (and expanded to 160,000 acre-feet).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The district hopes to release a draft environmental impact report on the project in 2017 and start construction for the district’s 100th anniversary in 2021—hence the “centennial” name.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although it is hardly the first dam on the Bear River, the project has prompted a number of concerns among local residents and river advocates, including:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Less streamflow for imperiled fish downstream.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>It would silence a 6-mile stretch of flowing water that residents enjoy, drowning the popular Bear River Campground operated by Placer County, as well as 25 homes.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>It will require a new bridge across the Bear River that could bring more traffic through Meadow Vista.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>It would flood dozens of American Indian cultural sites along the river.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>“It’s a 19th-century solution to a 21st-century problem,” said Traci Sheehan, coordinator of the Foothill Water Network, a coalition of local groups formed to oppose the dam. “Especially during a time of climate change, you need to be really thoughtful. We believe there are more cost-effective and less environmentally destructive alternatives.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of those is meadow restoration, Sheehan said. Sierra meadows have been degraded by more than a century of logging and livestock grazing, reducing their ability to store precipitation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A number of agencies are working to \u003ca href=\"http://www.sacbee.com/news/local/environment/article13156424.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003cspan class=\"s2\">restore meadows\u003c/span>\u003c/a> as a water supply solution. The Nevada Irrigation District could do the same thing, Sheehan said, on the 70,000 acres (28,328 hectares) of mountain watershed that help fill its water system today.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another is conservation. Only 10 percent of the district’s customers are residential or business customers who consume treated water.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The rest are agricultural customers who receive untreated or “raw” water. This water is delivered in a 475-mile (764km) ditch system. Much of this dates to the Gold Rush and a lot of it is unlined, resulting in losses of 10 percent or more due to seepage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The district has a program to line or pipe its ditches “when feasible,” said general manager Rem Scherzinger. In practice, this means about 2 miles (3.2km) per year, according to a recent \u003ca href=\"http://nidwater.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/FINAL2015_Agricultural_Water_Mgmt_Plan_012916.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003cspan class=\"s2\">report\u003c/span>\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As any responsible agency should, we must explore and utilize all of our resources,” Scherzinger said. “These range from conservation and watershed management to leak loss prevention and the construction of storage facilities to try to protect our community. Centennial is one facet in a holistic approach to survive the coming reality of climate change.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The district’s treated water customers were required by the state to achieve 33 percent conservation last year because of the drought. They managed 30 percent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Its raw water customers, however, had no conservation requirement because the state exempted agricultural water users. Although many of the district’s raw water customers are small farmers and ranchers, many are large residential property owners who use the water for other purposes, including landscaping and ponds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“While we want to make sure farmers get every ounce of water they need for their crops, we believe a lot of agricultural water is going to water the lawns of McMansions,” said Caleb Dardick, executive director of the South Yuba River Citizens League, a small but influential environmental group working to restore river flows for fish and recreation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An unusual feature of the Nevada Irrigation District system is that it diverts substantial amounts of water from the Yuba River, through a tunnel, into the Bear River, to serve a significant share of its customers in both Nevada and Placer counties.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dardick worries that if the district doesn’t get the water it needs from the Bear River to fill Centennial Reservoir, it will divert more water from the Yuba River to fill it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wilcox said the opposite will actually be true. Building Centennial Reservoir, he said, will allow the district to divert less water from the Yuba to serve its customers in Placer County, who could then be served by Bear River water stored in Centennial Reservoir instead.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a result, he said, the new reservoir could actually take pressure off the Yuba River.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The project is likely to cost close to $500 million, Wilcox said, which includes the new bridge as well as a possible new hydroelectric unit at Rollins Reservoir, for which the district already has a federal permit. The district would use revenues from electricity sales to help offset construction costs. No rate increases will be needed to pay for the project, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It is not enough to say, ‘Well, dams are outdated; we hate dams,’” Wilcox said. “Dams are inherently destructive. I grant you that. But they really do provide some water-supply reliability. And our whole society is heavily dependent on infrastructure like that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A critical issue for the project is water rights. Nevada Irrigation District actually conceived Centennial Dam in 1927, when it was known as Parker Dam. Wilcox says the State Water Resources Control Board has held water rights for the project “in trust” ever since. But the district does not hold title to the water, which must be granted by the state through a separate hearing process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A lot has changed since 1927 in California’s understanding of water availability. Estimates from that time of nature’s ability to provide water are now recognized as optimistic. It is also understood that the state has already \u003ca title=\"Link: http://www.sacbee.com/news/local/article2607102.html\" href=\"http://www.sacbee.com/news/local/article2607102.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003cspan class=\"s2\">allocated\u003c/span>\u003c/a> much more water rights than there is actual water to divert. So it remains to be seen if 110,000 acre-feet of Bear River water is truly still available for a new reservoir.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shelly Covert, spokeswoman for the Nisenan Tribe’s Nevada City Rancheria, wants the water district to explore every possible alternative before moving ahead with the reservoir.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She said the project will drown cultural sites the tribe has used for millennia. This includes former village sites, places where cremation rituals were performed and where tribal members still go today to harvest natural resources and connect with flowing water.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Known as “momilaj” (mome-lay) in the Nisenan language, flowing water is important to some tribal cultural practices, said Covert, who is also a member of the tribal council.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"fin\">“I can’t believe that in 2016, our few remaining resources that we still have access to are in danger of being lost again,” she said. “It’s a big deal to change a flowing, rushing river into a big puddle.

We need to control our own destiny.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Climate change scenarios anticipate, as temperatures rise, more Sierra precipitation will fall as rain rather than snow. That means the mountain snowpack that California has relied upon historically to survive its hot summers may no longer be sufficient.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">The Nevada Irrigation District conceived Centennial Dam in 1927, and water rights for the project have been held ‘in trust’ ever since.\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>The Centennial proposal would store 110,000 acre-feet (\u003cspan class=\"caps\">135.7\u003c/span> million cubic meters) of water by building a dam 275 feet (84m) tall across the Bear River, near the town of Meadow Vista.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That would make it larger than any of the district’s existing \u003ca href=\"http://nidwater.com/water-service/about-your-water/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003cspan class=\"s2\">10 reservoirs\u003c/span>\u003c/a>, and it would be one of the largest dams built in California in some time. For example, \u003ca href=\"http://www.ccwater.com/435/Los-Vaqueros-Project-History\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003cspan class=\"s2\">Los Vaqueros Reservoir\u003c/span>\u003c/a>, built by Contra Costa Water District, was 100,000 acre-feet (\u003cspan class=\"caps\">123.3\u003c/span> million cubic meters) when first constructed in 1998 (and expanded to 160,000 acre-feet).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The district hopes to release a draft environmental impact report on the project in 2017 and start construction for the district’s 100th anniversary in 2021—hence the “centennial” name.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although it is hardly the first dam on the Bear River, the project has prompted a number of concerns among local residents and river advocates, including:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Less streamflow for imperiled fish downstream.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>It would silence a 6-mile stretch of flowing water that residents enjoy, drowning the popular Bear River Campground operated by Placer County, as well as 25 homes.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>It will require a new bridge across the Bear River that could bring more traffic through Meadow Vista.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>It would flood dozens of American Indian cultural sites along the river.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>“It’s a 19th-century solution to a 21st-century problem,” said Traci Sheehan, coordinator of the Foothill Water Network, a coalition of local groups formed to oppose the dam. “Especially during a time of climate change, you need to be really thoughtful. We believe there are more cost-effective and less environmentally destructive alternatives.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of those is meadow restoration, Sheehan said. Sierra meadows have been degraded by more than a century of logging and livestock grazing, reducing their ability to store precipitation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A number of agencies are working to \u003ca href=\"http://www.sacbee.com/news/local/environment/article13156424.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003cspan class=\"s2\">restore meadows\u003c/span>\u003c/a> as a water supply solution. The Nevada Irrigation District could do the same thing, Sheehan said, on the 70,000 acres (28,328 hectares) of mountain watershed that help fill its water system today.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another is conservation. Only 10 percent of the district’s customers are residential or business customers who consume treated water.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The rest are agricultural customers who receive untreated or “raw” water. This water is delivered in a 475-mile (764km) ditch system. Much of this dates to the Gold Rush and a lot of it is unlined, resulting in losses of 10 percent or more due to seepage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The district has a program to line or pipe its ditches “when feasible,” said general manager Rem Scherzinger. In practice, this means about 2 miles (3.2km) per year, according to a recent \u003ca href=\"http://nidwater.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/FINAL2015_Agricultural_Water_Mgmt_Plan_012916.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003cspan class=\"s2\">report\u003c/span>\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As any responsible agency should, we must explore and utilize all of our resources,” Scherzinger said. “These range from conservation and watershed management to leak loss prevention and the construction of storage facilities to try to protect our community. Centennial is one facet in a holistic approach to survive the coming reality of climate change.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The district’s treated water customers were required by the state to achieve 33 percent conservation last year because of the drought. They managed 30 percent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Its raw water customers, however, had no conservation requirement because the state exempted agricultural water users. Although many of the district’s raw water customers are small farmers and ranchers, many are large residential property owners who use the water for other purposes, including landscaping and ponds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“While we want to make sure farmers get every ounce of water they need for their crops, we believe a lot of agricultural water is going to water the lawns of McMansions,” said Caleb Dardick, executive director of the South Yuba River Citizens League, a small but influential environmental group working to restore river flows for fish and recreation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An unusual feature of the Nevada Irrigation District system is that it diverts substantial amounts of water from the Yuba River, through a tunnel, into the Bear River, to serve a significant share of its customers in both Nevada and Placer counties.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dardick worries that if the district doesn’t get the water it needs from the Bear River to fill Centennial Reservoir, it will divert more water from the Yuba River to fill it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wilcox said the opposite will actually be true. Building Centennial Reservoir, he said, will allow the district to divert less water from the Yuba to serve its customers in Placer County, who could then be served by Bear River water stored in Centennial Reservoir instead.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a result, he said, the new reservoir could actually take pressure off the Yuba River.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The project is likely to cost close to $500 million, Wilcox said, which includes the new bridge as well as a possible new hydroelectric unit at Rollins Reservoir, for which the district already has a federal permit. The district would use revenues from electricity sales to help offset construction costs. No rate increases will be needed to pay for the project, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It is not enough to say, ‘Well, dams are outdated; we hate dams,’” Wilcox said. “Dams are inherently destructive. I grant you that. But they really do provide some water-supply reliability. And our whole society is heavily dependent on infrastructure like that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A critical issue for the project is water rights. Nevada Irrigation District actually conceived Centennial Dam in 1927, when it was known as Parker Dam. Wilcox says the State Water Resources Control Board has held water rights for the project “in trust” ever since. But the district does not hold title to the water, which must be granted by the state through a separate hearing process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A lot has changed since 1927 in California’s understanding of water availability. Estimates from that time of nature’s ability to provide water are now recognized as optimistic. It is also understood that the state has already \u003ca title=\"Link: http://www.sacbee.com/news/local/article2607102.html\" href=\"http://www.sacbee.com/news/local/article2607102.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003cspan class=\"s2\">allocated\u003c/span>\u003c/a> much more water rights than there is actual water to divert. So it remains to be seen if 110,000 acre-feet of Bear River water is truly still available for a new reservoir.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shelly Covert, spokeswoman for the Nisenan Tribe’s Nevada City Rancheria, wants the water district to explore every possible alternative before moving ahead with the reservoir.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She said the project will drown cultural sites the tribe has used for millennia. This includes former village sites, places where cremation rituals were performed and where tribal members still go today to harvest natural resources and connect with flowing water.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Known as “momilaj” (mome-lay) in the Nisenan language, flowing water is important to some tribal cultural practices, said Covert, who is also a member of the tribal council.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"fin\">“I can’t believe that in 2016, our few remaining resources that we still have access to are in danger of being lost again,” she said. “It’s a big deal to change a flowing, rushing river into a big puddle. Water is a living thing, a living being.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Other factors in the complex matrix of climate attitudes:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>“Government is the Problem”\u003cbr>\n\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The impulse to reject climate science goes to the heart of American culture.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have a long history of being suspicious about government,” says Oreskes, and for better or worse, the most meaningful countermeasures to climate change require some level of government intervention, such as regulating and taxing carbon emissions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think our version of it dates to Ronald Reagan (“Government is the problem”) but it’s a really deep element in American society if you think about it. Our government was set up so that the federal government would be weak, so that it wouldn’t concentrate too much power in Washington D.C.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ask Not What You Can Do for Your Country\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some Americans have also come to see potential climate solutions as a threat to their lifestyle. A survey by the Pew Research Center last summer found that six in 10 Americans believed they’d have to make “major changes to their way of life” to address climate change.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s also sort of the idea that the American way of life is a life of plenty,” says Oreskes. “Many people, if you try to talk to them about climate change, what they hear you saying is, ‘You’re a bad person—the way you live is bad,'” explains Oreskes. “You’re doing this terrible thing which is going to kill people in Bangladesh.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oreskes cautions against using the “language of sacrifice.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think the key challenge for us is to figure out how we shift our energy systems in ways that protect our prosperity rather than ways that cause us to be poor,” she says. “And this is really crucial because a lot of people want to imply that if we do something about climate change, it’s going to cost us a ton of money.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Often held up as proof to the contrary is California, which has seen its economy grow steadily despite having the nation’s most aggressive policies to cut greenhouse gas emissions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Blame it on the Media\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Why not? We deserve it. After all, \u003ca href=\"http://www.vox.com/2016/10/19/13342250/presidential-debates-climate-change\">not a single question\u003c/a> about climate was raised throughout the series of televised presidential debates during the 2016 campaign.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There is fundamentally a climate silence in America today,” says Ed Maibach, who directs the George Mason half of the Six Americas project. He says most respondents to their surveys say they “rarely hear about it in the media,” nor do they often hear people discussing climate or have conversations about it themselves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is an all-hands-on-deck situation,” says Maibach. “We need all voices in America talking about climate change and throwing their support behind climate solutions.”\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
