Storm-driven erosion exposes vulnerability of California coast ,
reviving questions about keeping 3.6 million pounds of radioactive waste just 100 feet from the Pacific at decommissioned San Onofre nuclear power plant.
Utility officials insist seawalls and steel canister storage system can withstand tsunamis, quakes and rising seas for decades,
even as scientists warn of hazards of storing nuclear waste indefinitely in a seismically active area next to the ocean.

How do scientists know if climate change made a heat wave, extreme storm or wildfire worse?
When a devastating heat wave, hurricane, flood or wildfire strikes, people often want to know: How much did human-caused climate change influence this event, if at all?

Typhoon Dolphin,
the most powerful tropical cyclone to hit China this year,
has made landfall on the country’s east coast,
bringing torrential rain and strong ⁠winds
and triggering warnings of flooding and landslides.
The storm has already swept through Japan’s southern Okinawa prefecture,
injuring six people and cutting power to more than 50,000 buildings.
Dolphin made landfall near Yuhuan in Zhejiang province at about ⁠5:30pm (0930 GMT) on Sunday

Back-to-back Arctic storms can double sea ice loss
Scientists have found that Arctic cyclones become especially destructive when several strike one after another. These storm clusters cause about twice as much sea ice loss as isolated cyclones, with impacts that persist roughly two and a half times longer. As Arctic ice becomes thinner and weaker, the damage from these storms appears to be increasing, potentially creating a feedback loop that accelerates future ice loss.

Channeling rainwater wisely creates a thriving landscape, providing both cooling shade and food for the public.
Instead of sending it down concrete curb edges and into storm drains,
cuts in the curb move water toward native trees and plants.
As Millison says, this simple change is key to “turning depleted neighborhoods into thriving ecosystems.”

In 1998, a man illegally cut holes in a Tucson street curb. The result changed the law.
Brad Lancaster shares with permaculture expert Andrew Millison how illegal curb cutting to divert rainwater 30 years ago changed Tucson.
