'The U.S. Drought Monitor, established in 1999, is a weekly map of
drought conditions that is produced jointly by the National Oceanic
and Atmospheric Administration, the U.S. Department of Agriculture,
and the National Drought Mitigation Center (NDMC) at the University
of Nebraska-Lincoln. The U.S. Drought Monitor website is hosted and
maintained by the NDMC.'

'California’s 2007-2009 drought exacerbated ongoing tensions
among competing water uses. While drought is most common in
California and the Southwest, drought also can exacerbate water
tensions in other regions. For example, the 2007-2008 drought in
the Southeast heightened a long-standing dispute in the
Apalachicola-Chattahoochee-Flint River (ACF) basin. Both California
and the ACF are again experiencing drought conditions, as are the
Rio Grande and Upper Colorado River basins.'

- GAO: Information on Potential Economic Effects Could Help
Guide Federal Efforts to Reduce Fiscal Exposure, 2017.
Over the last decade, extreme weather and fire events have cost the
federal government over $350 billion, according to the Office of
Management and Budget. These costs will likely rise as the climate
changes, according to the U.S. Global Change Research Program.
Methods used to estimate the potential economic effects of climate
change in the United States—using linked climate science and
economics models—are based on developing research. The
methods and the studies that use them produce imprecise results
because of modeling and other limitations but can convey insight
into potential climate damages across sectors in the United
States.
The two available national-scale studies that examine the economic
effects of climate change across U.S. sectors suggested that
potential economic effects could be significant and unevenly
distributed across sectors and regions. For example, for 2020
through 2039, one study estimated between $4 billion and $6 billion
in annual coastal property damages from sea level rise and more
frequent and intense storms. Also, under this study, the Southeast
likely faces greater effects than other regions because of coastal
property damages.
- Belcher O, Bigger P, Neimark B, Kennelly C. Hidden carbon
costs of the “ everywhere war”: Logistics,
geopolitical ecology, and the carbon boot-print of the US military.
Transactions of the Institute of British Geographers, 19 June
2019.
This paper examines the US military's impact on climate by
analysing the geopolitical ecology of its global logistical supply
chains. Our geopolitical ecology framework examines how
material–ecological metabolic flows shape geopolitical and
geoeconomic power relations. We argue that to account for the US
military as a major climate actor, one must understand the
logistical supply chain that makes its acquisition and consumption
of hydrocarbon-based fuels possible.
- I USA kan Donald Trump lyve uden konsekvenser. Nu lyver
han om CO2-reduktioner : I en timelang session hyldede Donald Trump
sin regerings enestående indsats for miljøet. Han
nævnte ikke klimaændringerne med et ord, men brystede
sig ikke desto mindre af at have sikret større amerikanske
CO2-reduktioner, end noget andet land har præsteret.
Desværre er det løgn. / : Jørgen Steen Nielsen.
I: Information, 10. juli 2019.
Mens Alaska lider under historisk hedebølge med op til 32
grader, og ekstremregn sætter store dele af Washington
– herunder kælderen i Det Hvide Hus – under vand,
står præsident Donald Trump i bygningens East Room og
lyver for åben mikrofon om klimaet.
