The Washington D.C. based US Drought Monitor shows us that flooded New Mexico is experiencing an exceptional drought.
As always, the government is reporting highly accurate climate information – in pursuit of keeping the public properly informed about the threat of climate change.
The hockey theory is finally proven. The Arctic has 700,000,000 more hockey rinks (468 m²) of ice today that it did a year ago.

About once every 20 years Colorado has rainfall and flooding more severe than the current 1000 year biblical flood. One of these events occurred in 1965 and killed 21 people.
Some of the largest rain totals were observed in the southeast potion of the state. Many of these rainfall amounts were unprecedented. The 14 hour 15.5 inch rainfall south-southeast of Lamar was about three times the 100-year 12-hour rainfall.
Five weeks ago, the LA Times reported that New Mexico was in an unrecoverable drought, which had permanently wrecked the ecosystem.

nowhere is it worse than in New Mexico. In this parched state, the question is no longer how much worse it can get but whether it will ever get better — and, ominously, whether collapsing ecosystems can recover even if it does.
Shocking imagery of the collapsing desert ecosystem has now arrived.

Whatever it was Obama was hoping to do in Syria (Islamist takeover? Take out Iran’s nuclear weapons program?) it is now a lot more difficult.
“We welcome the agreement,” Syrian Reconciliation Minister Ali Haidar told Russian news agency Ria Novosti, giving his country’s first reaction.
“On the one hand, it helps Syria come out of the crisis and, on the other, it helps avoid the war against Syria depriving those who wanted to launch it of arguments to do so,” Mr Haidar said.
“It’s a victory for Syria achieved thanks to our Russian friends.”
Cops trying to subdue an emotionally disturbed man with a long rap sheet accidentally shot two female bystanders outside Port Authority Bus Terminal on Saturday night, source said.
Two cops pulled off a total of three shots in the mistaken belief that the deranged man was armed after he reached into his pocket as they approached him, officials said.
The 35-year-old man took his hand out of his pocket and “simulated shooting the officers,” Police Commissioner Ray Kelly told reporters.
One victim, 54, was struck in her leg — breaking two bones in her calf — as she stood leaning on her four-wheeled walker across from the terminal; a second woman, 35, was grazed in her buttocks.
The “no hesitation” police training program pays off again.
The flooding has affected parts of a 4,500-square-mile area, almost the size of Connecticut.

The flooding has actually affected parts of a 2,000,000-square-mile area, almost the size of the Earth.
I got some flood reports from people I know in Boulder. They all said – water in the basements, no other damage, no wall of water, wildly exaggerated by the press, life back to normal today.
Estes Park has some serious problems though, because it is a tourist town and the roads are washed out.
At a fund-raiser for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee in Chicago May 29, he had said: “We … know that the climate is warming faster than anybody anticipated five or ten years ago.” He had added: “I don’t have much patience for people who deny climate change.”

It turns out that the exact opposite is true.
A leaked copy of the world’s most authoritative climate study reveals scientific forecasts of imminent doom were drastically wrong.
The Mail on Sunday has obtained the final draft of a report to be published later this month by the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the ultimate watchdog whose massive, six-yearly ‘assessments’ are accepted by environmentalists, politicians and experts as the gospel of climate science.
They are cited worldwide to justify swingeing fossil fuel taxes and subsidies for ‘renewable’ energy.
Yet the leaked report makes the extraordinary concession that the world has been warming at only just over half the rate claimed by the IPCC in its last assessment, published in 2007.
Back then, it said that the planet was warming at a rate of 0.2C every decade – a figure it claimed was in line with the forecasts made by computer climate models.
But the new report says the true figure since 1951 has been only 0.12C per decade – a rate far below even the lowest computer prediction.
What would really be shocking would be if Obama ever told the truth, or did anything for the benefit of the American people..
