Over the next 30-50 years do you think California will remain the agricultural producing region that it is today? In general, do you think policy makers will be able to incorporate a longer-term perspective when addressing the current acute water shortage (especially given shortages anticipated by many of the downscaled climate scenarios for the Colorado River Basin)? Thanks!

What does the research say as to the overall impact of smog on health? I live in a cool historic neighborhood in a U.S. city and I love it! But I have a 2 year old son and our house is 3 blocks from a major freeway. When I'm driving home from work I can see the smog sitting over our house. So I'm concerned that growing up with routine exposure to lots of smog will negatively affect his health in the long term. Is there any conclusive research on this? Thanks!
