Report: Global warming real threat to California

Increasing temperatures will transform California, threatening some of its most valuable resources in coming decades. That's the primary message of a new state publication that summarizes 17 scientific studies examining how global warming is expected to play out in California.

“The potential impacts of global warming are unmistakable, adding more days of deadly heat, more intense and frequent wildfires, shorter supplies of drinking water and serious public-health risks,” Linda Adams, the state's secretary for environmental protection, said yesterday during a news conference at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography in La Jolla.
