Real Climate Science

Almost the entire US has been below normal temperatures this year.

This is good news for us in Colorado because we normally have leaves on the trees by now, – which would be a catastrophe with 18 inches of snow on the way.

During his State of The Union address, President Obama promised to end forest fires in Colorado.

Lodgepole Pine

The Pinus contorta as a species is a very dependent on fire as a mode of replacing itself. The bark of the lodgepole pine is fairly thin, minimizing the defense the tree has to fire. The stands are so densely populated that the trees self thin, or out compete, each other leaving dead trees in the stand. These dead trees become a dry ladder fuel to accelerate the fire to the crown of the tree. When the fire reaches the crowns of the trees, it can jump from tree to tree and becomes relatively unstoppable. These stand-replacing fires open the cones, releasing the seeds, and are what most species of lodgepole pine rely on to be able to regenerate.

Two or three days after the most recent expert drought forecasts for the northern plains, we are expecting one to three feet of heavy wet snow from Colorado to Minnesota.

DPRK has already achieved the  fundamental objectives of the US Democratic Party.

1. Their CO2 emissions are only about 1% of those of the US
2. They have universal gun control
3. They have no dissent
4. They have earth hour 365 days a year
5. Everyone worships Dear Leader
6. One person makes all the decisions
7. Everyone is united towards a common purpose. If not, they just disappear.
8. Universal Health Care

If all countries were like North Korea, the weather would always be nice with no more hurricanes or droughts.

The amount of 3+ year old ice is up from 7% in 2011 to 10% in 2013. There is more 3+ ice now than there was five years ago.

The amount of 4+ year old ice is up from 3% last year to 5% this year. There is 60% more 4+ ice than there was last spring.

Climate alarmism is based on ignorance and dishonesty.

Check out N.M.’s burn scar to see crisp evidence of climate change

By Scott Shuker / Santa Fe resident on Sun, Apr 7, 2013

Along with 35 people from Albuquerque, Santa Fe and Taos, from teenagers to retirees, I joined New Energy Economy’s Las Conchas hike last Saturday, a stark and informative experience that displayed the realities of climate change on New Mexico’s forests.

We hiked the eastern rim of the Valles Caldera and viewed the now dead forest patch and considered the affect Las Conchas had on this beautiful wilderness area and what it portends for the future.

Santa Fe is famous for spectacular Aspen groves, which formed after giant fires during the 1890s. Many species like Aspen depend on forest fires for their existence.

I went hiking on the eastern rim of the Valles Caldera in October, and took this picture.

A few years after a fire, the Aspen trees move in and the scenery becomes much more spectacular.

Climate alarmists look at new life, and see death.

Some states are choosing to protect their children, by providing powerful deterrents to criminals.

The proposal calls for 16 hours of training to instruct teachers how to first conceal children during an attack, and then return fire. It would apply to charter schools as well as public schools that don’t already employ armed guards.

Several proposals to extend the reach of guns in schools are moving through the Legislature, which opened its biannual session a month after 20 schoolchildren were killed in a mass shooting in Connecticut.

The National Rifle Association has called for an armed guard in every school in America.

Gun-free school zones were designed to leave children defenseless.

Obama is pushing electric cars because he says electricity is clean, and electric cars are marketed as being “emissions free.”

The White House is also pushing the idea that electricity is incredibly dirty and generates huge amounts of emissions.
