California's rainy season is the wettest ever recorded, and while in some ways that will help make up for the drought, it was the occasion for the Oroville dam to start to break.

Paradoxically, global heating makes for bigger rains and for deeper droughts — just not at the same time and place.

Cryin'air shows its non-respect for people that need wheelchairs by saying, "Please walk up this stairway, or we will leave you behind."

When some US states legalized same-sex marriage, the suicide rate for high school students dropped 14% in those states.

Global heating is reducing the level of oxygen in the ocean, and some kinds of fish already have trouble getting enough.

There are local "dead zones" with very little oxygen, but this is a different issue. This is a decrease in the amount of oxygen in surface waters where no local phenomenon operates to reduce it.

Rosa Ortega, who has lived in the US since infancy, will be deported to Mexico because she voted in Texas without authorization. The normal penalty is probation.

She didn't try to hide her identity, she just didn't know that she wasn't allowed to vote, and the state didn't tell her.

Adults who have lived in the US since infancy should be entitled to citizenship even if they commit little crimes like this. (That doesn't mean they shouldn't be punished.)
