Barbecues cause forest fires too. Next up will be six months in jail for a weenie roast or making smores. They already banned fireworks. Pretty soon the only thing the peasantry will be permitted to do is worship Dear Leader.

A blowout at a BP oil well in 2010 caused the usual crowd of morons to declare that the ecosystem would never recover. In this case, never was about three months.

Bandelier’s Frijoles Canyon to reopen after flash flooding

Flash flooding late Thursday night closed the Frijoles Canyon at Bandelier National Monument, but law enforcement rangers plan to reopen the canyon Saturday, July 27, to visitors.

Staff reported a five-to-eight-feet wall of water flowing into the canyon and covering the parking lot at Bandelier’s Visitor Center.

Why would the Anasazi leave — potentially for good — pueblos it had taken them decades to construct? Scientists have found one possible answer by looking at tree rings (a study called dendrochronology) in the Sand Canyon area. In the period between A.D. 1125 and 1180, very little rain fell in the region. After 1180, rainfall briefly returned to normal. From 1270 to 1274 there was another long drought, followed by another period of normal rainfall. In 1275, yet another drought began. This one lasted 14 years.

What happened? Warfare and starvation, leading to cannibalism (controversial). People were eating mice whole; evidence of cannibalism resulting from murders during war (unburied bodies, skulls with cut marks caused by scalping, skeletons were arrowheads inside the body cavity, proliferation of defensive walls, bones with smooth ends—hallmark of boiling in pots—bones cracked to extract marrow—residues of the human muscle protein myoglobin on the pots’ insides, dried human feces containing human muscle protein, normally absent from human feces)

Drought: AD 1130. Sometime between AD 1150 and 1200, Chaco Canyon was abandoned and remained empty until Navajo sheepherders reoccupied it 600 years later.

The Disappearance of the Anasazi

According to climate experts, your SUV caused this cannibalism.

Climate alarmists have completely separated themselves from anything resembling truth or honesty. Nothing left but the big lie.

Experts tell us that all of the multi-year ice is gone, last year left nothing but thin decayed ice, the remaining ice has failed and turned into a slushy, the Arctic is the fastest warming place on Earth, and that it is all going to melt by 2013, or 2012, or 2010, or 2008, or 2000.

Given that these are the smartest people on the planet, why did the amount of ice increase by 50% since last year to the highest level since 2004?

Could it be that these experts actually have absolutely no idea what they are talking about?
