Colorado snowpack remains in good shape

Colorado's mountain snowpack continues to track at above average levels this month. The latest snowpack surveys, conducted by the USDA-Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), indicates that all of the major river basins in the state are now above average, ranging from 103 percent of average in the South Platte Basin to 130 percent of average in the Rio Grande Basin. Statewide totals are now 117 percent of average, showing just a slight decrease from the statistics of a month ago, when the state was reporting 120 percent of average. These latest readings are 90 percent of last year's snowpack totals on this same date, according to Allen Green, State Conservationist, with the NRCS.

The hypothesis that humans can actually change climate is unsupported by evidence from geology, archaeology, history and astronomy. The hypothesis is rejected.
A new ignorance fills the yawning spiritual gap in Western society. Climate change politics is religious fundamentalism masquerading as science. Its triumph is computer models unrelated to observations in nature. There has been no critical due diligence of the science of climate change, dogma dominates, sceptics are pilloried and 17th Century thinking promotes prophets of doom, guilt and penance.
