Experts Available to Discuss Report on Predicted Global Warming Effects for California.TOPIC: A study, appearing in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Scientists, claims global warming will endanger California's water supply due to drastically hot summers and a depleted snow pack, according to an article by The Associated Press. The report says there could be five to seven times more heat-related deaths in Los Angeles by the end of this century. Scientists advise the state to take measures to make preparations; to provide means.

Skeptics of the report claim the study did not take factors, including human adaptability and insight into consideration.
