Catalonia's three-year drought has gone beyond mere inconvenience. Agriculture is being destroyed.

It has plans to use desalination to get drinking water. I hope they will not be powered by fossil fuels, as that would accelerate the increase of drought over all Spain and large parts of the world.

There was hardly any ice in Lake Erie this winter.

*Gardens in England and Wales blooming four weeks early, says National Trust.

This flowery symptom of global heating may be pleasant, but these sorts of changes don't affect a whole ecosystem in a uniform way.

*Aerial surveys of Great Barrier Reef ordered after flights confirm mass coral bleaching.*
