Heading to Colorado Springs CO fairly soon. We decided to pause the drive in Sante Fe on the 1st and leave on the 2nd. I figured I'd look at the chamber of commerce calendar to see if there were anything interesting going on that we could explore.I found the authority of the statement quite rich considering "artists" are examining the impact of global warming for the simple folk. Tempeted to drive another 3 hours...wife would rather stop a bit.

    Global warming and cooling has been going on for centuries. I dont choose to live within a foot or so of the ocean levels, so ice melting isnt something I am worried about. One always has to look at the hidden agendas behind these "crises" that are brought up to see the real reason- increased governmental powers- for them.

    I have occasionally complained in this forum about my fervent desire to leave Oregon (which is rapidly following California in craziness) and going to a more hospitable place.
    Recently I made the decision to move to Santa Fe (wife's family, etc.) and was so looking forward to it. Her family is deeply embedded in the art scene in Santa Fe.
    Now I'm wondering where else I should go. : - )
    There are few places left, but this forum does help with my sanity.
    Cheers!

    Encaustic painting, also known as hot wax painting, involves using heated beeswax to which colored pigments are added. The liquid or paste is then applied to a surface—usually prepared wood, though canvas and other materials are often used.

    Careful snowflakes you might melt.

    The error swamps the signal. If I remember correctly the error in measuring the global temperature is something like +/- 2C yielding a range of 4C, and a signal of 1.8C change over 100 years is an average of 0.018C per year.

      Ahhh, but they average the numbers to reduce the error. They have a thousand data points! They'll get 5-digit accuracy from 2-digit data!!!

      They conveniently forget that they don't have a "sample size of a thousand" because that's not the same as a thousand measurements of discrete things, each a sample size of one.

    Hello AJAshinoff,

    I know it is very hot where you live. Isn't it always hot there though? :) When I was young we used to get several days every summer that topped 100 F. here, but I haven't seen any in years...
    Skepticism doesn't garner grant money or attention though...

    Good to find some time to converse again. I have been overwhelmed lately. Work and other projects...
    Regards,
    O.A.

      Hello OA,

      Always good to hear from you. Yes, the past weeks its been above 105 and between 110-120. While the heat is expected its never welcome, at least by me. Getting a respite from the oven is what we have in mind.

      My saying "It doesn't matter whether you bake or broil you still cook." Arizona= broil.

    Santa Fe is the New Mexico version of the People's Republic of Boulder but just slightly more flaky. Of course, you can add Taos in there with Santa Fe also. I currently live in New Mexico and have lived in Colorado, so I know both venues and I believe that the natural beauty of both areas attracts the flakiest among us.

    Will it be held outside?
    On a Sunny Day or will clouds get in the Way?
    If the Wax Statues melt in the sun, does that really prove their point?

    Christiana Figueres, the Kip's Ma for real life and the whole world, sets forth her manifesto in the journal Nature here:

    https://www.nature.com/news/three-yea...

    She tells a tale truly told by an idiot (i.e. one living in a world of his/her own), full of sound and fury, signifying nothing--for she is cagily short on details of how drastic a reduction of carbon emissions would suffice, and how to achieve it.

      I realize it's been pointed out many times, but just take a look at the authors of the above article. Every one of them is an official of an organization that is involved with climate change. How could they possibly disagree with AGC?

      I also noted that Nature, which used to be one of the premier journals of science, is now heavily involved with AGC. ( as is the popular Narional Geographic, which I used to read avidly every month, but not since their issue devoted entirely to AGC ) And Nature does not allow any comments, unless you subscribe for $199.00 / year.

      What do they care, as long as they can abolish/des-

      permit?--Which people, of course, will have to beg

    In many things based in science there are huge swaths of the general public with very strong opinions - with zero knowledge of what they are talking about. I find it interesting, funny, and frightening.

    I haven't been to Colorado Springs for many years, but as I recall the "Garden of the Gods", a series of astonishing rock formations was a highlight I still recall.. In any case, whether or not you are a camper, if you're a scenery buff, there's few places more wondrous than Wyoming, Colorado, and Arizona.

        You've got me looking through my old super 8 movies and there is a 40 mile trip that starts in Colorado Springs called The Gold Camp Road. Unless they've done some major upgrades, it's not for the faint of heart. But, there are some beautiful vistas. It was over 40 years ago, but I'm sure you don't need me to do your research. However, I do rememberthat it took 4 hours to go 40 miles, including an encounter with a road grader that was coming toward us which I swore was going to be the end of me, my wife, my two boys and our rented Dodge Polaris.Somehow it passed us. I don't know how. But I suggest you take the paved road back to Colorado Springs.It is 3 times lionger but about the same elapsed time, and much less sweat. Of course all my comments may be 40 years behind the times and I'm sure that you'll get the latest info. without my obsolete advice. But, I can't resist, because that trip, plus Yellowstone/Yosemite, plus a raft trip down the Colorado river were the 3 most memorable vacations our little family had.

        good. at the General Palmer castle she can do a high tea. I am sure that is on you list AJ, but was surprisingly fun. The Airforce Academy is very fun to tour, and the Broadmoor is so lovely. treat her to a spa something there. also, you can meet Dale's sister-she'll join you for dinner. you'll love her-you'll both love her you and she are peas in a pod!

    Sedona is trying to become another Santa Fe with the same artists of Neo -Luddite persuasion. They believe in global warming as the Santa Feans. So, maybe they'll be the "first ones up against the wall when the revolution comes" along with the Ancient Alien Cult.

    The global warming is caused by the axis of the planet changing. I am living within 100 yards of where I grew up. The Big Dipper is 10 to 45 degrees closer to the horizon than it is suppose to be.
