For decades, carpetbagging Udalls have been the scourge of the southwest.  We recently got rid of ours in Colorado. A new one as popped up though in Fort Collins.

Over the last century, the river’s flow has declined by around 16 percent, even as annual precipitation slightly increased in the Upper Colorado River Basin.

The Colorado River is evaporating, and climate change is largely to blame

River flow is down 16%, as precipitation has increased over the past century.  The math works out perfectly, because up to 65% of the Colorado River water is being diverted across the Continental Divide to the Front Range. Udall believes this diversion is “climate change.”

Lake Powell was built in the 1960’s which also evaporates massive amounts of water upstream from Lake Mead.

Drought is the normal climate of the west. “The 20th century was wetter than normal.”

“Scientists who study the West’s long-term climate patterns say that California has had multiple droughts of 10 or 20 years in a row during the past 1,000 years — and two severe “megadroughts” of 180 years and 240 years.”

The problem California had with dams was too much water.

Leftists rarely have any idea what they are talking about, and Udalls are some of the most clueless.

Last week, CNN, The Guardian and many other fake news agencies reported Arctic sea ice north of Greenland is breaking up for the first time ever, and it was due to “climate change.”

The Guardian said it was the last ice area, and it was scary.

The whole story was complete nonsense. There was less ice north of Greenland in September 2002 than there is this year.

The Arctic is full of ice.  The red circle shows the area which climate scientists are terrified about.

There is more ice across northern Greenland than there was ten years ago.

Across the entire Arctic, sea ice extent is slightly less than 1971, during the ice age scare.

Forty-nine of the world’s leading climate scientists sent a letter to President Nixon warning of a new ice age within a century.

As far as I can tell, most national and international news agencies lie about essentially everything.

Based on current volume ice loss trends, I predict with 97% confidence the Arctic will be ice-free on July 29, 2021 at 11:42 AM.

Ice loss this year was fourth lowest on record, with all of the lowest four years occurring since 2013.

This shouldn’t surprise anyone, because summers have been running cold in the Arctic in recent years.

The ice edge is not quite as extensive as it was in 1971, when the New York Times was worried about expanding ice and a new ice age.

The climate prophets aren’t doing very well, which is why the fake news press quotes them every day, and refuses to talk to anyone who states factual information about climate.

As it stands right now, August 31 was the date of minimum sea ice extent in the MASIE record. This is the first year the minimum occurred during August.  The map below shows ice gain and loss since August 31.

Summers are ending earlier, and the Arctic is starting to freeze earlier.

The average last day above 80 degrees comes several days earlier in the US than it did a century ago.

All indications are that summer is getting shorter and cooler, which is why people like Mosher are desperate to tamper with the daily temperature data.

Roman soldiers would frequently bury their coins before they went off to war.  Many never returned  or couldn’t remember where their 0% interest bank was.  People with metal detectors find these stashes after 2,000 years of oxidation and sell them on E-Bay.

I bought a stash of these from Croatia, and am finding some gems down underneath all the dirt and rust.

One common design on the tail side, was very similar to that on the back of the 1959 British threepence.

Thirty years ago this month I moved from Sedona to Houston.  Monster hurricane Gilbert was forming and headed towards Houston – after destroying my favorite town in Mexico. A few weeks earlier NASA’s James Hansen had predicted Lower Manhattan would be underwater by 2018.  The summer of 1988 was very hot, very dry, Yellowstone nearly burned up, the Mississippi River nearly dried up, and Gilbert was the most powerful hurricane on record. Obviously Hansen was correct – at least until Katharine Hayhoe erased the heat of 1988.

On my way out of Arizona, my trusty German Shepherd and I stopped at a convenience store and collected my $60 for picking four numbers in the lottery.  That night we slept under stars in West Texas which were so bright you could read a book by them. It was very cold that night, and there was frost by morning.

Gilbert missed Houston, and thirty years later I’m headed back to soon to be RINO-free Arizona – to work for a few months. It has already turned cold in Boulder, and I’m looking forward to the Arizona sun. High temperature yesterday in Boulder was 65 degrees, coldest September 5th since 1929.

Chalk me up as one more climate refugee fleeing to Arizona to escape the cold weather.

Midwestern USHCN stations have recorded 17,772 June/July/August measurements over 100 degrees since 1895, including 2,624 in 1936 alone. This year there were only eight measurements over 100 degrees.

The frequency and intensity of hot summer afternoons in the Midwest has plummeted since the 19th century.

The New York Times claims the exact opposite, because their job is to push propaganda – not report news. This is the wildly fraudulent New York Times graph for Harrisburg, Illinois, purporting to show the number of 90 degrees days.
