There was a spate of articles taking about the impact of climate change in Colorado. They all said "more of the same, only more so."

Gee thanks, I knew that! Y'all got any SPECIFICS?!

There are methane leaks everywhere they're drilling and fracking in the West. Colorado's answer to the problem is to delay buying monitoring requirement and then say we don't have a problem.

Another big source of climate affecting emissions are burning coal mines. Yes, there are hundreds of them, all over the country, all of them spewing CO2 and worse; in fact, one that's suspected of starting the Marshall Fire near Boulder Colorado has been burning for over 100 years!
This is crazy stuff if you are unaware. We do have a lot of massive fires underground. Our unending wisdom.

Last night we got 6 plus inches of rain. Forecast was from 2-3. I was down at the river and parked on the hill just in case. The river was up several feet this morning, but hadn't covered the driveway when I left.

The West is dry as fuck and that's beginning to be the standard story out here. I think climate change means more drought in the American West and that does not bode well for farmers or city dwellers in the region.

The good part of this storm is the fires in the south end of the county are finally out. Tonight was my wife's monthly get together and her friend was showing pictures of the fires. It got within two miles of her house. There were 20 fire units in front of her house, but if the wind hadn't changed when it did, I don't think they would have stopped it.

Holy shit that's a close shave. Sounds like a lot of stories from friends here in Colorado, including my now girlfriend.
