No liability. Please
I bet you conspiracy lovers really get off on this nonsense. None of this nonsense is ever verified by legit sources, you just move on to the next made up conspiracy .
70 + % of Juvenile murders/homicides in DC for 2024 & 2025 are unsolved to date !
So you've gone from elite high school runner to semi-elite jogger to hiker ?
I have watched various hikers posting from The Appalachian Trail from Georgia to Maine or The Pacific Coast Trail from the Southern US to the Northern US borders and NO I don't feel that the VAST majority are anything but semi crazy with 3 - 6 months to take a long walk !
I agree!
What if I told you I walked the Grand Canyon R2R trail at a slightly above average pace? Would that make me a semi-elite athlete?
I won’t quote Malcolm X again, but this is a classic example of it.
More backlash for the white liberal DC protestors. Warning: very NSFW language.
Dumb headline. They have to be documented in order to get the aid. They are illegal.
Looks like Fauci taught Barry O how to throw a baseball.
Conservation works.
Once again, it's not the climate, it's the fuel
More foresters step forward to correct the record on wildfires

Your timing with this stuff is odd. Spiking the football again while huge fires are burning.
I think the # of acres burned is more significant than the # of fires.
All of Colorado’s largest fires have occurred in the last 25 years. Sure seems like we have more massive fires than we used to. Just as we have more hot days than we used to.
Denver 90 degree days during 10 year span from 1924-1933 - 211
Denver 90 degree days during 10 year span from 2014-2023 - 527
Look, both parties are lost when it comes to climate change. Dems just want to focus on oil. The GOP wants people to believe we have limited to no impact.
How many people has Denver added in the last 100 years? How many buildings, how much concrete? How many natural areas have been replaced with roads and housing? How much fresh water is being used?
Those are questions that scientists, who are not beholden to either party, have about the change in weather/climate.

Your locality has absolutely nothing to do with climate change. It’s called “Global Warming”, not “Denver Warming”. How is Denver’s warming creating more polar ice?
Conservation works. You obviously whiffed on the word “fuel” in the article. The huge fires are harder to contain because of the lack of forestry maintenance, which the radical enviro groups have been against for 40+ years now. As off as you are about conservation wrt forestry, you’re even further off with how climate change works. It isn’t local.
No, just too cheap to rent a donkey that walk the trails.
Mary Anne and I once took a chopper flight from Vegas to over the GC.
She wasn't pleased to be on the chopper !
Anyone with an ounce of curiosity and research has known than certain areas are being impacted more than others.
I could do this for many other cities and give you similar results. Salt Lake City is another with similar changes.
Do you really think humans are having no impact?
And because summers are longer and hotter than they used to be. Conveniently left out that massive variable.
Colorado does a ton of forest management. Manages it much more than 100 years ago. Unfortunately, the summers are longer and hotter than they used to be.
I graduated with a degree in Natural Resource Management, but ya, I have no idea what I’m talking about.
Over 1.1 million acres of Colorado forests have been treated for health, wildfire management since 2000
Over one-third of Colorado is forested acreage — 24 million acres of the state’s 66.48 million acres — managed by a variety of local, state and federal entities. The Colorado State Forest Service and the...

Anyone too unthinking to not vote, shouldn't be thinking he is a scholar.
Rill is just a complete whack job like Jeff now.
1936 is the year for HOT! Gee whiz, a study says that urban heat islands raise the floor by 9 full degrees. I can attest having a convertible and noting the dramatic cooling that occurs when driving by a farm after sunset. It is almost desert like pleasant after dark.
I wonder why cities like Denver and Phoenix set records more often with a higher noise floor?
Colorado fires? When was Colorado last a red state? One R governor since 1975. There is your answer Rilly
Rilly - you are silly little compliant man.
derangement won’t allow Mr Curious to read this study.
Too bad you showed so little curiosity and took the vax because Trump and Biden told you it was good for you.

Semi-elite post!
Insults, childish nicknames, and manic copy and pasting from Twitter!
So what you’re saying is calling myself a “semi-elite athlete” even though I haven’t accomplished anything athletically except a slightly above average hike might be kind of crazy?
Should I be criticizing other folks’ accomplishments?
Summer 2025 is roasting hot: these charts show why it matters
Data reveal how this year’s back-to-back heatwaves are affecting populations and economies across Europe.
www.nature.com
I'm sure the Europeans that are experiencing back to back record breakers are very concerned about the summer of 1540.
So humans have an impact on the temperature? Interesting. That's exactly what I have been saying, and that it has little to do with oil. Did you miss my comments about more humans/concrete, and less natural areas/water?

Are you under the impression that humans impact on the planet is felt equally across the globe? That continents with hundreds of millions of people will have the exact same experience as the poles where no people live?
As I said, both parties talk about things that don’t matter much, while ignoring reality. We need some elementary level education on this stuff.
Places with huge human populations are getting warmer. Places without humans are not. There is something to be learned here, but I’m not optimistic people can see it.
Ya, put me in the latter. Once "global warming, er..climate Change" started being the reason to move major amounts of wealth around the globe, I became more circumspect.
Just a couple of major eyebrow raisers:
Changing the name to encompass any environmental irregularity is very convenient.
The left's specific climate predictions have been mostly wrong for literally decades.
Any excuse leaders use to funnel major money around while denouncing any dessent as evil is a tell to me.
I would assume humans have an impact and we have a chance to slow fires specifically by forrest management. I believe the article you posted showed over 60% of Colorado's Forrests are still in need of maintenance. I think people would question the left's motives less if this is where they spent their efforts, but it is not. The left showed how little they care about Mother Earth when they cut sharper than Barry Sanders on Tesla.

Between 1924-1933, Dallas had one year with over 100 days above 90.
In the last 10 years, Dallas had one year with less than 100 days above 90.
Texas communities face elevated wildfire threats
About 85 percent of wildfires in Texas start within only two miles from a community.
comptroller.texas.gov
Texas wildfires in 2024 are outpacing California's worst year, 1.2 million acres burned so far
Wildfire numbers have remained stable suggesting larger more intense blazes.
States like Texas are also seeing an increase in the intensity of wildfires. Not as simple as R vs D. I know this goes against your us vs them philosophy, but facts do still matter.
