Great video from Phillip Grove, a student at Occidental University, about the faulty science behind the effort to delist the Coastal California Gnatcatcher (the funding behind the research also calls up serious questions).

The Pacific Institute's Peter Gleick pens a harsh opinion in the Los Angeles Times today about Congressional efforts to address California's drought:
"The federal government has a vital role to play in helping states address water problems: improving management of federal infrastructure, funding research of new technologies, setting standards for water-quality and appliance efficiency, as well as protecting the environment and marginalized communities. And yet none of those issues is the thrust of the two water bills now moving through the House and Senate. Instead, a California-centric bill sponsored by Sen. Dianne Feinstein anda Western water bill sponsored by Rep. David Valadao both contain egregious, anti-environmental giveaways hidden behind modest provisions for modernizing California's water system."
