On Friday, the index stood at 90.2, and, with more wet weather certain to visit the North State, that number will continue to rise.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We’ve seen lots of references to the index this season, though no explanation of what it actually represents. Is it a simple mean of the eight stations? Or is there some sort of algebraic voodoo thrown in to flummox D students?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Doug Carlson, a DWR spokesman, answered the question this way: “Every day, the accumulated precipitation among the stations is totaled up, and then divided by eight.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>OK, then: a simple average reflecting the rainfall (and water content of snowfall) at the eight stations for the current water year, which begins on Oct. 1 and runs through Sept. 30.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Next question: What stations are involved and why?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The eight sites are scattered across the Sacramento, Feather and American river watersheds. They’re generally very, very rainy-snowy spots compared to what we’re used to in most of the Bay Area. Brush Creek, northeast of Oroville, is one of the Feather basin sites. It has recorded a mind-boggling 121 inches of precipitation since last Oct. 1.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The watersheds themselves are tracked because it was recognized when the index was created in 1920 that rainfall they were the sources of an abundant water supply. In later decades, they became the key basins for the federal Central Valley Project and the State Water Project.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Below are the eight sites the Department of Water Resources uses in the Northern Sierra eight-station index.

In March, President Donald Trump announced efforts to undo President Obama’s Clean Power Plan, which would have required nearly all states to devise plans to cut carbon emissions from power plants. The plan was intended to play a major role in U.S. efforts to meet its goal under the Paris climate accord of cutting emissions by 2025 by roughly a quarter of what they were in 2005.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because people have so much influence over the outcome, and because scientists aren’t sure how ice sheets in Antarctica and Greenland will respond to warming temperatures, it’s still unclear exactly how much the sea will rise. But one thing is clear: We can’t stop the sea from rising anymore.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Antarctica and Greenland are not going to stop losing mass,” Fricker said. “It’s not like we’re suddenly going to see a downturn in sea level.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s why the report’s authors recommend coastal communities take action now.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Waiting for scientific certainty is neither a safe nor prudent option,” they write.\u003c/p>\n\n",

"title": "Will Democrats Get Another Supermajority Vote That Could Raise Gas Prices?",
"headTitle": "The California Report | KQED News",
"content": "\u003cp>The power of the California Democratic Party's supermajority was mightily tested last Thursday, with the \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/04/06/in-big-win-for-gov-brown-state-legislature-oks-major-transportation-plan/\" target=\"_blank\">nail-biting passage\u003c/a> of a $52 billion transportation package that will add 12 cents to the price of gasoline.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What does that bode for the other big lift coming up in the Legislature, the reauthorization of the state's landmark climate change legislation, cap and trade? The carbon auction system \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/science/2017/04/06/appeals-court-upholds-californias-cap-trade-plan/\" target=\"_blank\">survived a court challenge\u003c/a> Thursday -- with the California appeals court affirming the legality of the program -- but it’s an open question whether cap and trade can survive a bruising political battle and the likelihood of tacking on more to the price of gas at the pump.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"1jWS9bhppGSpPwGRlbcFaz7xyZWuSgY4\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The transportation bill was a squeaker, passing with a bare minimum of votes in both the Senate and Assembly. Last-minute concessions dragged the package over the line, but at the cost of exhaustion and, for some, distasteful compromise.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If an infrastructure funding bill is such a difficult sell, what does that mean for the future of cap and trade, which will require another two-thirds vote to pass?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Any two-thirds vote is difficult,” said Sen. Bob Wieckowski (D-Fremont), who chairs the Senate Environmental Quality Committee. “With cap and trade, since 25 percent of money goes to disadvantaged communities, it’s a little lighter lift versus transportation package. That said, it’s still two-thirds.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Supporters of cap and trade are seeking a supermajority vote this year to affirm the program’s legal standing and eliminate doubts that have reduced participation in the state’s carbon market, which has allowed companies to trade permits at auction since 2012.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"Z5pjlA80AKoR1w4dzxkhMOhdTwUTLYOx\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The original law, AB 32, has a 2020 deadline for meeting its target of reducing greenhouse gas emissions to 1990 levels, and that has opened questions as to whether it can operate past that date. Critics say that the law is a an illegal tax because it passed with a simple majority vote. A two-thirds vote to extend the program would resolve both questions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The court also settled the tax point, although there are other potential legal challenges ahead.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Legislators are still discussing whether to extend AB 32 as it exists or to shape an entirely new bill, possibly with an emphasis on environmental justice issues. There are varying versions of what a new or rejiggered cap-and-trade program might look like -- continuing the carbon auctions or converting to a carbon tax. Those developments are open-ended.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But if the program is extended in its current form, the price of allowances could greatly increase, according to a nonpartisan analysis. Depending on allowance prices, the cost of gas could rise from 15 to 73 cents per gallon by 2031, according to the \u003ca href=\"http://www.lao.ca.gov/letters/2017/fong-fuels-cap-and-trade.pdf\">Legislative Analyst’s Office\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Legislators are understandably sensitive to a dramatic hike in gasoline prices, a core pocketbook issue for voters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sen. Ted Gaines (R-El Dorado), who voted against the transportation bill, said permanent gas taxes hurt the most vulnerable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"VjcX5hmorfoHWguJ21jnotxrTIhrGcwb\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There seems to be some confusion in the Legislature about the war on poverty,” Gaines said in a statement. “We should be fighting to end it, not create it. But with this new gas tax we will be serving up poverty by the gallon to millions of families and businesses around the state.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In any event, cap and trade lived to fight another day, thanks to a 2-1 ruling from the 3\u003csup>rd\u003c/sup> District Court of Appeal in Sacramento, which agreed with the state Air Resources Board that it has the authority to regulate polluters. The years-long case had clouded the future of cap and trade, with sluggish interest in the state’s auctions. The February \u003ca href=\"https://www.arb.ca.gov/cc/capandtrade/auction/feb-2017/summary_results_report.pdf\">quarterly allowance auction\u003c/a> was another bust, with just 16.5 percent of the emission allowances sold. The next auction is in May.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Analysts say that the future for cap and trade will not be truly assured until it is enshrined in law and not subject to continual legal challenges. Gov. Jerry Brown has asked the Legislature to reauthorize the program with a two-thirds vote, but even the Democrat-heavy statehouse is not committing to anything. Yet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>CALmatters.org is a nonprofit, nonpartisan news venture explaining California policies and politics.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

The carbon auction system \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/science/2017/04/06/appeals-court-upholds-californias-cap-trade-plan/\" target=\"_blank\">survived a court challenge\u003c/a> Thursday -- with the California appeals court affirming the legality of the program -- but it’s an open question whether cap and trade can survive a bruising political battle and the likelihood of tacking on more to the price of gas at the pump.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The transportation bill was a squeaker, passing with a bare minimum of votes in both the Senate and Assembly. Last-minute concessions dragged the package over the line, but at the cost of exhaustion and, for some, distasteful compromise.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If an infrastructure funding bill is such a difficult sell, what does that mean for the future of cap and trade, which will require another two-thirds vote to pass?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Bob Wieckowski (D-Fremont), who chairs the Senate Environmental Quality Committee. “With cap and trade, since 25 percent of money goes to disadvantaged communities, it’s a little lighter lift versus transportation package. That said, it’s still two-thirds.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Supporters of cap and trade are seeking a supermajority vote this year to affirm the program’s legal standing and eliminate doubts that have reduced participation in the state’s carbon market, which has allowed companies to trade permits at auction since 2012.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The original law, AB 32, has a 2020 deadline for meeting its target of reducing greenhouse gas emissions to 1990 levels, and that has opened questions as to whether it can operate past that date. Critics say that the law is a an illegal tax because it passed with a simple majority vote. A two-thirds vote to extend the program would resolve both questions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The court also settled the tax point, although there are other potential legal challenges ahead.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Legislators are still discussing whether to extend AB 32 as it exists or to shape an entirely new bill, possibly with an emphasis on environmental justice issues. There are varying versions of what a new or rejiggered cap-and-trade program might look like -- continuing the carbon auctions or converting to a carbon tax. Those developments are open-ended.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But if the program is extended in its current form, the price of allowances could greatly increase, according to a nonpartisan analysis. Depending on allowance prices, the cost of gas could rise from 15 to 73 cents per gallon by 2031, according to the \u003ca href=\"http://www.lao.ca.gov/letters/2017/fong-fuels-cap-and-trade.pdf\">Legislative Analyst’s Office\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Legislators are understandably sensitive to a dramatic hike in gasoline prices, a core pocketbook issue for voters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sen. Ted Gaines (R-El Dorado), who voted against the transportation bill, said permanent gas taxes hurt the most vulnerable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There seems to be some confusion in the Legislature about the war on poverty,” Gaines said in a statement. “We should be fighting to end it, not create it. But with this new gas tax we will be serving up poverty by the gallon to millions of families and businesses around the state.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In any event, cap and trade lived to fight another day, thanks to a 2-1 ruling from the 3\u003csup>rd\u003c/sup> District Court of Appeal in Sacramento, which agreed with the state Air Resources Board that it has the authority to regulate polluters. The years-long case had clouded the future of cap and trade, with sluggish interest in the state’s auctions. The February \u003ca href=\"https://www.arb.ca.gov/cc/capandtrade/auction/feb-2017/summary_results_report.pdf\">quarterly allowance auction\u003c/a> was another bust, with just 16.5 percent of the emission allowances sold. The next auction is in May.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Analysts say that the future for cap and trade will not be truly assured until it is enshrined in law and not subject to continual legal challenges. Gov. Jerry Brown has asked the Legislature to reauthorize the program with a two-thirds vote, but even the Democrat-heavy statehouse is not committing to anything. Yet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>CALmatters.org is a nonprofit, nonpartisan news venture explaining California policies and politics.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Located near the elephant exhibit, the\u003ca href=\"http://zoo.sandiegozoo.org/\"> Butterfly Conservation Lab\u003c/a> served as home for the first-ever attempt to rear Quinos in the lab.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Entomologist Paige Howorth set up the program that ended up producing 1,513 larvae and caterpillars.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"So the adult females that we receive from the wild and we set them up in these enclosures with the host plant, and so this is what they'll lay their eggs on,\" Howorth said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zoo staff nurtured the adults, fed the butterflies Gatorade and collected the eggs they deposited. By last December, the first group of larvae was ready to be released on the refuge. The 742 larvae were still hibernating, and while that is uncommon for a butterfly, it is typical for Quinos.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11402116\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11402116\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/04/Biologists-800x463.jpg\" alt=\"Biologists Susan Wynn and John Martin inspect coastal sage scrub on the San Diego National Wildlife Refuge to find a rare wild butterfly, March 14, 2017.\" width=\"800\" height=\"463\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/04/Biologists-800x463.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/04/Biologists-160x93.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/04/Biologists-1020x590.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/04/Biologists.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/04/Biologists-1180x683.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/04/Biologists-960x556.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/04/Biologists-240x139.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/04/Biologists-375x217.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/04/Biologists-520x301.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Biologists Susan Wynn and John Martin inspect coastal sage scrub on the San Diego National Wildlife Refuge to find a rare wild butterfly, March 14, 2017. \u003ccite>(Matthew Bowler/KPBS)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\"It is occurring at the same time that the host plant in the habitat is completely drying up and going away.
