Real Climate Science

With temperatures below -20F, New Mexico and the San Luis Valley of southern Colorado are the oldest places in the US this morning.

I took these pictures of skiers at the Santa Fe Ski Basin from 22 miles away, on the other side of the Rio Grande. The air was very clear today.

It was about 0F (-18C) at sunrise. Another foot of snow forecast for New Years. Click on the photos to see them full size.

The science is clear, and New Mexico and the Southwest are in the bull’s eye when it comes to the devastating effects of global warming.

I took these pictures of global warming devastation in Los Alamos this morning.  The snow was too deep for the dogs, so I have to leave them behind – for the first time ever.

Off to the snow in New Mexico tomorrow, but a great day in the desert today.

the reality is climate change just makes everything more extreme

We had an extremely low number of violent tornadoes this year – zero.

Teddy Bear Cholla cactus spines fold over after they get under your skin, so pulling them out is like pulling fish hooks out. One day in 1976 I went to the emergency room in Superior, Arizona with hundreds of them in my wrist.  The doctor had just moved out from Pennsylvania the day before, and had never seen a Cholla. He was pretty good with a pair of pliers however.

Nesting herons on Oak Creek, almost directly above where I lived 30 years ago.

I was teaching high school science/math and coaching soccer at a boarding school in Cornville, Arizona, and lived about 15 feet from the creek. The school is shut down now, but everything looks the same – except for no kids.

Also, my dog was bigger 30 years ago. And liked to play soccer.

I used to take Dingo running up here every day, when CO2 was below 350 PPM.  Now that it is above 400 PPM, everything looks exactly the same – except for a lot more neurotic leftists on the trail hysterical about imaginary climate change.
