Laura Paskus writes that more than 120 miles of the Rio Grande in southern New Mexico are dry — and that adapting to a changed climate can no longer be postponed.

Aridification is here
Laura Paskus writes that New Mexico is already living with aridification as rivers dry, reservoirs shrink, trees die and communities face worsening water stress.

Arbaro de Espero is based in Lebanon. Yet our aims are global. One of those is to plant a lot of trees to mitigate global warming, limiting aridification and saving lowlands from rising seas.

A trend for concentration solar power.
Photovoltaic is cheaper than ever and will become even cheaper. Keeping the mirrors clean will be an impossible task with the increasing aridification and consequent soil particles in the air.
Photovoltaic is the future.
More than that, it is the present.

Colorado basin is no longer being described as a drought. But rather Aridification. While drought implies temporary period of dryness , Aridification suggests a more permanent and long term shift towards a drier climate.
