This summer polluted beaches may have dangerous bacteria in both the sand and the water.

This is extremely sad to read about. I cant believe three different countries have declared states of emergency and its the worst drought they have had in forty years. Hopefully America and other countries help with some kind of foreign aid.

With the soaring heat waves already occurring in march, its even more crucial that areas such as the ones being impacted now by the heat, prepare for the hotter seasons.

It is so interesting to see all of these huge weather events are happening in short spans of each other across the planet.

Human activity will likely eventually kill off all coral reefs, or at least most of them. With the effects of climate change being practically irreversible at this point, I don't see how we will stop the destruction of coral reefs.

I wonder if coral reef bleaching occurred when El Nino occurred in 1998, 2010, 2014, & 2017 and if the reefs recovered.

I was surprised to read how the company that sold the water rights originally bought the land under the guise that it was an agricultural business. Instead it was actually an investment firm, with a history of managing water related investments. They originally rented out the land to farmers, but then decided to make a profit off of the current water scarcity crisis affecting the Colorado River. It's truly disappointing how greed is a main motivating factor in a widespread drought situation.

I don't understand how water is allowed to be considered a private commodity when it is a necessity and basic human right. It's terrible that everything is being turned into a product.

It's horrible how the affects of El Niño are getting worse. There are so many impacts that I never thought of like hundreds of dolphins dying due to the heat and a dengue outbreak in Peru.

What a large area for disasters to occur in, and a variety of them that seem to play off one another. The 150 dolphins is a bit stunning, a combination of drought and 102 degree water temperature...that is similar to a hot tub in temperature. On such a large mass of water that is incredible. Very sad for what happened because of it though.

I found this article really interesting, since while reading, I also was wondering how this is impacting wildlife there in San Diego. Hearing how these loud noises have been disturbing native animals was upsetting to hear, though it is important to notice that other impacts could even be economic. Reading that both recreational and commerical fishing are affected makes sense as well, ultimately showing how these rocket flights are not affecting only one aspect of the county.

This was interesting due to New York is not a place that expieriences earthquakes on the norm (that I am aware of), so to see how the emergency services as well as the civilians would react during the earthquake. I also thought it was interesting of the amount of aftershocks with in a few hours of a 4.0 earthquake which is relatively light.

This is a really interesting article, It's cool that people can use their home gardens to provide a habitat to birds!

Coral bleaching is somthing that has been spoken about for a while now however the fact that of the aerial surveys included in the study this article is based off of only about a quarter of the reefs were unaffected was still shocking

This is very alarming, and the article truly highlights the sort of consequences that the lack of awareness on anthropogenic stressors can have on a sensitive ecosystem such as coral reefs.

The bleaching of coral reefs could have major repercussions, since they are biodiversity hotspots. The fact that half of the Great Barrier Reef has experienced some level of bleaching is depressing. I would think that this is endangering many species that live in the coral reefs.

Crazy how despite all this severe weather happening so frequently all over the country there are still people who don't think climate change is a real threat.

I can see both sides of the argument for this article with the government and local farmers. On one hand the State regulators are trying to get a control of how much water is being used so that ground level won't sink any further. With that said many local farmers may go out of business due to the extra fees. Many people prefer to buy at a supermarket where food comes in from far away instead of shopping at local farmers markets.

At first reading the title of the article made me think it’s crazy that they would be on water probation. But as I read the article I realize that they’re punishing people who are not following protocol and following the rules.

Coral reefs are a valuable ecosystem to earth because they harbor diverse marine life and provide coastal protection. Their ability to recover is hindered by declining populations and the effects of ocean acidification. The increasing rate of coral bleaching is also affecting the marine life that depend on these coral reefs. Human activities is causing irreversible destruction that we will probably keep getting worse.

Heavy rain in southwest Pakistan has killed about 39 people and eight in Balochistan province, where authorities have declared a state of emergency. The rain has not been limited to these areas as heavy flooding has been reported in Afghanistan where hundreds of homes have been destroyed or damaged. Ohter than heavy rain and flooding, the storm also included lighting which took the lives of farmers who continued to work on wheat fields.

This is a sad situation as these events are happening more often around the world but also in areas where there isn't a lot of infrastructure to help and support people when it comes to natural disasters.

It is so rare to hear about an Earthquake being felt in New York. The videos I have seen of people reacting to the Earthquake seem like many people didn't even know what was happening at first. Very interesting that such a relatively small earthquake was felt so far apart in distance.

Wow...I did not hear of this until I read this article. Hard to believe it happened.
