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.

    The question is not is there global warming (or cooling), the question is can a change in the way men interact with nature and other men make a meaningful difference in global warming (or cooling)? I mention cooling because that was the "scientific concern" back in the 1970's. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_...

    It has yet to dawn on visual artists why con artists have CYA changed "global warming" into "climate change."
    Con artists can only own the conned--not what that big wild star in the daytime sky may up and force of nature do.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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?

    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.

    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.

    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.
