They used to call July summer, now they call it global warming.

How pathetic that no one within two hours of the island had a rifle.

There is no reason for a society to march like sheep to slaughter. If you are in charge of children, it should be mandatory that you are able to take care of them.

I did a 20 mile ride this morning up into the foothills and got chased by a pitbull.

AC and car free. The only way to go when the weather is nice. We only get about six weeks of summer in Colorado and you have to enjoy it.

SUMMIT COUNTY — Water levels in the Colorado River could shrink by 40 to 50 percent in the next half-century, with almost unimaginable consequences for the arid Western states that rely on its water, according to some scenarios outlined by the International Panel on Climate Change.

The bike trail in Glenwood Canyon got washed out this year by record water levels that lasted for over six weeks.

White House says US temperatures to rise by eleven degrees this century!

On the first day of summer, I forecast that Lake Powell would rise to about 3,655 feet. It is now up to 3,660 feet. It will probably peak at around 3,662 feet, despite the fact that they have been letting a lot of water out of the dam.

The graph above plots the number of years from the closest  month where the USHCN high temperatures averaged over 100 degrees in Meeker, Oklahoma. Prior to 1960, Meeker would have an extremely hot month about once every 2-3 years. The 30 year spell from 1981 to 2010 had no months over 100 degrees.

Contrary to widely reported claims (normally made by people who have done no research) heatwave frequency has declined – dramatically.

Here are all the months which averaged over 100 degrees :

1901 - July

1799: Thomas Jefferson, Noah Webster And The First Global Warming Debate

Jefferson was not only the first Republican, he was the first to raise concern about global warming – another anomaly.

He was convincing enough that the science consensus for the next 190 years became just what he said.   Now the data and circumstances tide has finally turned in a way that Thomas Jefferson anticipated

If it started in the 18th century, it probably didn’t have much to do with CO2.
