Drought is at historic lows.

Wet weather is associated with low temperatures, because cold air can hold less moisture – resulting in condensation and precipitation.

The press has predictably responded to the record cold and wet, by claiming the exact opposite of what is happening. And the scientific community has been predictably silent about the lies.

I took the Totos for a walk west of Fort Collins this morning.

Fossil fuels made it possible for me to hike in the Sonoran Desert yesterday morning, and cycle in Colorado climate crisis yesterday afternoon.

This bird is very angry about it.

Our progressive friends want to ration fossil fuels and build massive arrays of bird choppers, in order to make sure that this sort of opportunity is unavailable to people in the future.

Thirty nine years ago today, Mt. St. Helens erupted.  I was skiing on Wheeler Peak, New Mexico that day, after a very big snow season. But there is a lot more snow on Wheeler Peak today than there was in 1980.

I saw a claim last year that global warming would make it too hot for Kestrels.  It was 100 degrees here yesterday.

The press loves to print stories about what was going on “the last time CO2 was this high.”

People who know how to think logically would recognize that very different conditions at equal levels of CO2, would indicate that CO2 is not the cause of those conditions – and is in fact unrelated. But superstitious people link together unrelated phenomena (like rabbit’s foot/good luck) and no amount of contrary evidence can sway them.

Five hundred years ago, bad weather was blamed on witches. Equally stupid and ignorant people now blame it on CO2.
