Experts Say Colorado River Deal , Fails to Solve Long-Term Problems.
Experts have warned that a hard-fought agreement
between California, Arizona and Nevada to cut the use of
the Colorado River won't solve the long-term water crisis.
'The Guardian' reports that experts say the new deal,
announced on May 22, is only a temporary solution to
a problem that threatens life in the American west.
The agreement will see the three states cut
water consumption from the dwindling river
by 13% over the next three years if adopted.
The deal is reportedly backed by $1.2 billion in
federal funds and encourages voluntary reductions
made in exchange for government grant money.
'The Guardian' reports that the deal
comes after months of missed
deadlines and stagnant negotiations. .
However, experts warn that the measure
is not enough to prevent the existential
threat posed by the Colorado River. .
Following years of over-allocation to meet the
needs of a rapidly expanding U.S. west, the region
is now facing unprecendented global warming. .
'The Guardian' reports that the American west
is facing a "megadrought' that is the worst
the region has experienced in 1,200 years.
The Colorado River supports 40 million people, including
the populations of Los Angeles and Denver, while
also supplying water for millions of acres of cropland.

just putting off a much more dramatic

Trevor Jacob, a California pilot with a daredevil YouTube channel who deliberately crashed his airplane in a stunt in 2021 to make a video has agreed to plead guilty to obstructing the investigation into the crash. The influencer and former Olympic snowboarder admitted to mounting cameras on a small airplane and equipping himself with a parachute so he could film a solo flight from Lompoc City Airport in Santa Barbara County to Mammoth Lakes, about 400 miles away near Yosemite National Park. In a plea agreement, Jacob admitted he had intended to obstruct federal authorities when he disposed of the wreckage and had created the video to make money through a sponsorship with a wallet company.

Yosemite Park to Close, Amid High Flood Risk.

in California will be closed to visitors this weekend due
to forecasts of floods brought on by rapid snowmelt.
The park will be closed from

According to the National Park Service,
the length of the closure depends on how quickly
melting snow runs off into the Merced River. .
The agency added that reservations would be
canceled and refunded for lodging
and campgrounds in the park.
Reuters reports that the shutdown comes as
Central California is forecast to experience a heat wave that is
expected to hasten melting after record winter snowfall.

the Merced River at the Pohono Bridge
is expected to top flood stage later this week.
Park spokeswoman Nancy Phillipe said that
the shutdown marks one of the longest
weather-related closures in the park's history.
Yosemite National Park was established
in 1890 and now covers over 759,000 acres
of land in the southeastern Sierras.
