Taos Ski Valley

Three years ago today, the New York Times and Governor Jerry Brown announced the California Permanent Drought.

The drought is now so deep, residents have to dig their way out of it.

Two of the last three years had record snow in California, so the San Francisco Chronicle has quite predictably announced the end of California skiing.

But they will have to wait until after the Fourth of July ….

Last year, NOAA declared May to be the hottest ever.

Contiguous U.S. had its warmest May on record | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration

Their claim isn’t true – May 1934 was much hotter.

The frequency of hot days last May wasn’t in the top ten.

This claim from NOAA was particularly misleading.

During May, 1934 Minnesota had eleven days over 100F, starting on May 8, and peaking at 108F on May 31.

May 1934 was much hotter in Minnesota

The record heat of 1934 wasn’t convenient for NOAA and NASA – so they simply erased it.

This May is starting out with record cold and snow.

Here in Boulder, today was the first May 9th not to reach 40 degrees.  The previous coldest May 9th was 45 degrees in 1917. We had our 28th snow of the year today, and the fourth snow day this month.

But facts don’t matter to climate alarmists.  All they need is a good appeal to authority to shut their brain down.

Steve Goddard on Twitter: “The potato famine occurred with CO2 below 300 PPM. Perhaps they want to go back to those days?… “

Ireland’s hottest year was 1921, when afternoon temperatures averaged a blistering 58F.

And in 1995, Ireland had a terrifying 12% of days over 70F.

Quite a crisis they are having.

These two cartoons effectively capture the climate change consensus.

Today will be one of the coldest May 9ths on record in the US.  The two hottest occurred in 1895 and 1896.

Arizona had their record heatwave in 1896. Parker, Az had seven consecutive days over 120 degrees, a record only matched in 1905.

January, 1896 was the hottest month on record in New South Wales.

A ten day heatwave during August 1896 killed thousands of people in the US, many of them in New York.

That was also an important year for global warming junk science.

As early as in 1896, Swedish physicist Arrhenius proposed that the presence of atmospheric greenhouse gases may result in warmer surface temperatures on Earth than a simple radiative balance would imply. A comparison between measured surface temperatures and estimated effective temperatures (assuming the planets behave like black bodies and are at radiational equilibrium) of the planets in our solar system has later revealed that planets with thick atmospheres, such as Venus and Earth, have a warmer surface than a simple radiation equilibrium can explain (Houghton 1991). The high surface temperature can be attributed to the greenhouse effect proposed by Arrhenius

After 125 years of fact-free global warming group think, scientists now say global warming causes an “early spring.”

The record cold and snow outside my door disagrees with 97% of junk climate scientists.

On this date in 1895, three quarters of the US was above 80F. Ninety degree temperatures were recorded in Minnesota, Maine and much of the Midwest. One hundred degree temperatures were reported in Nebraska, Kansas and Oklahoma, and Arizona was over 110F.

This year, they are still skiing in Arizona.  Latest skiing on record there.

Record cold in Boulder today. Local experts at NCAR and NOAA believe the atmosphere is overheated.

The commencement ceremony will take place rain, snow or shine in Folsom Field, please dress accordingly.  Folsom Field will allow umbrellas in the stadium on May 9 for the Commencement Ceremony.  In the event of rain or snow, the ceremony may be abbreviated.  Livestream will be available on this site on Thursday, May 9.

Savannah Sellers from MSNBC will be delivering the CU Boulder commencement address today in a snowstorm and record cold. Last week she suggested that students should skip school because global warming means they they have no future anyway.

MSNBC Hypes Students Skipping School to Protest Global Warming

Today’s forecast high of 39 degrees would shatter the old cold record of 45 degrees set in 1917, and is 49 degrees cooler than 1916.

She also is a big gun confiscation advocate. There was a school shooting in nearby Highlands Ranch on Tuesday committed by two Trump-hating progressive children – who apparently  believed they had no future. Very similar to the 2013 Arapahoe High School shooting by an Obama supporter, not long after Michelle Obama spoke at the school.

Progressives certainly know how to motivate students.
