This is what Boulder looked like on May 18 last year.

With only five inches of rain so far this month, the sign at NCAR warns of high fire danger.

These deer are very worried about the permanent drought. Or possibly the coyote in the trees.

These children are suffering global warming devastation, having to dribble around patches of ice in the middle of the field.

It would be nearly impossible to start a fire if you needed one to keep warm. Perhaps that is the danger.

The City of Boulder is suing oil companies for providing the energy which the city requires  to survive and function. This might seem irrational, but that is because you just aren’t qualified to understand the brilliant minds of left wing thinkers.

I had a nice garden until the permanent drought wrecked it a few minutes ago. It is my birthday today and I got a new (used) set of golf clubs.  I had no idea it was going to come with billions of golf balls falling out of the sky.

We have now had more than five inches of permanent drought this month, including almost three inches in the last two hours.

Toto has been studying the permanent drought the last couple of days at Wolf Creek Pass and Boulder.

Lots more permanent drought in the forecast.

Red shows sea ice loss since May 13, green shows ice gain. There hasn’t been any change in extent for quite a few days. We are now more than one-third of the way through the Arctic melt season.

DMI is starting to bring their 2018 graph back towards where it should be, though the shape of the graph doesn’t make much sense. The rapid decline they were showing a few days ago never happened.

Earth has cooled 0.54C since the year Donald Trump got elected. That is the fastest 24 month cooling since 1916.

Last year, scientists said Earth was record hot and it was Donald Trump’s fault. But they had it backwards.  The prior warming was Obama’s fault, as Trump wasn’t in office yet. The cooling since 2016 is under Trump’s watch.

Sixty years ago, the New York Times predicted ships would be sailing over the North Pole “within the lifetime of our children.”

And 60 years later, both the Northwest Passage and Northern Sea Route are blocked by 12 foot thick ice.

Reggie better get his blowtorch out from prison. Sea ice volume has hardly changed since the peak earlier this month.

There has been almost no change in extent over the past three days.  Red below shows decrease since May 13, green shows increase.

But no worries, the Democrat’s #1 climate prophet says the Arctic will be ice-free this summer.

And Nobel Prize Winner Al Gore says the Arctic has been ice-free for four years.

DMI continues to show Arctic sea ice extent dropping rapidly and down 10% since May 1.

There has been no change in extent over the past two days. Red shows ice loss since May 12, green shows ice gain.

May 12 .  May 14

The total ice extent loss in May has been 4%, almost all of which occurred during the first few days of the month.

The DMI ice volume graph is more credible than their extent graph. It correctly shows that there is almost no melting occurring in the Arctic.

During the summer of 1954, Conway, Arkansas had 72 days over 100 degrees, including 115 degrees on July 13.

Conway rarely has 100 degree days any more.  They had only one day last summer (Hottest-Year-Ever™) which just barely topped 100 degrees.
