Study links fossil fuels to Western water issues
A recent scientific study links carbon dioxide emissions from over 120 major fossil fuel and cement companies to increased water scarcity and drought in California and the western United States. The research estimates that these companies are responsible for nearly half of the decline in snowpack and streamflow reductions caused by climate change since 2014. The study emphasizes that global warming has intensified drought conditions, increasing water demand for agriculture and straining groundwater resources, with some contributions attributable to human-caused climate change.
