Arizona, California and Nevada would take less water from the Colorado River under a federal proposal to stave off a crisis in the river. The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation announced the plan on Friday, allowing deeper cuts in drier times. Arizona and Nevada have faced cuts before, but this proposal could lead to more significant reductions, impacting agriculture, cities, and tribes. The proposal follows years of deadlocked negotiations among states. The Lower Basin states could face collective cuts up to 3 million acre-feet annually through 2036. That’s about enough water to serve more than 25 million people a year.

Two new studies reveal climate change's fingerprints over extreme fire weather-triggering infernos in Spain and France. Researchers at World Weather Attribution found human-caused climate change made Spain's record fire 20 times more likely and doubled the chances of extreme fire conditions in France. Another study shows extreme fire-prone days in Southern Europe have more than doubled compared to decades ago. Experts emphasize that climate change is already impacting fire severity and stress the need to stop burning fossil fuels.
