Colorado is divided into two demographics. Most of the state (geographically speaking) is sane Republican territory. By contrast  the Democratic areas (Denver, Boulder, etc.) are occupied by the highest density of whack jobs in the US.

• Aurora shooting
• Columbine shooting
• Jon Benet
• Ward Churchill
• University Of Colorado football
• Balloon Boy
• Highest rate of marijuana abuse in the country

Colorado is considered a toss-up in the election, but if only sane regions were allowed to vote, the election wouldn’t even be close.

Bill McKitten wants us to sacrifice our freedom and money, in a mindless attempt to restore the weather back to his psychotic fantasy.

05 Oct 1949 – HURRICANE SMASHES THROUGH TEXAS

Scientists have been all over the press corpse with stories of Arctic ice melt and doom, while the actual Arctic has gained 750,000 km² of ice during  the past week. That is more new ice than the area of France.

Ice growth will likely accelerate even more during the next week.

USHCN has been having to cheat harder and harder every month to create the false impression that the US is warming.

They announced last week a new USHCN 2.5 version, which I predicted would introduce a new cheat.

USHCN deleted their monthly data last week, and apparently are making a transition from version 2.0 to 2.5. My guess about this surprise move is that they are going to make past “raw” data colder, and current “raw” data warmer. This will make their massive adjustments appear smaller.

It will be easy enough to test this, as I have local copies of their old raw data, and will be able to do a direct comparison.

They put the USHCN 2.5 data out yesterday, and cheated exactly as I expected – with recent raw temperatures bumped way up, and older temperatures lowered. This is calculated as the yearly average of all “raw average monthly” temperature data for all USHCN stations during all months. I assume a Monte Carlo distribution for missing data.

But it is worse than it seems. There is an additional hidden cheat, because the monthly data is also adjusted upwards from the daily data – which shows a long-term cooling trend in the US.

Even after UHI effects, the US is cooling since 1895.

Fossil fuel powered energy is cheaper, more efficient, reliable and much better for the environment. James Hansen and his band of fellow imbeciles should be held accountable for the mass stupidity they have wrought.

The government is establishing 17 new “solar energy zones” on 285,000 acres in six states: California, Nevada, Arizona, Utah, Colorado and New Mexico. More than half of the land — 153,627 acres — is in Southern California.

Interior also established 19 million acres — nearly 30,000 square miles — of so-called “variance zones” that will allow developers to propose solar projects in those areas. Environmental and other review of projects proposed in variance zones would be handled on a case-by-case basis.

The Obama administration has authorized 10,000 megawatts of solar, wind and geothermal projects that, when built, would provide enough energy to power more than 3.5 million homes, Salazar said.

10,000 megawatts on 19 million acres? That works out to 500 watts (peak) unreliable energy per acre of environmental destruction, millions of birds chopped up, habitat destroyed, power lines everywhere, and a massive legacy of stupidity and environmental destruction from the moron in chief.

You can get that much energy from a few tiny fossil fuel powered plants.
