TECOPA, Calif. — Sometimes the desert holds its secrets close, whispering them only to those who carefully listen. But this year, the hottest and driest place in America might as well be shouting.

In California’s Death Valley region, the last few months have been remarkably loud. And the latest bellow is still ringing out, with the area’s native wildflowers bursting into bloom. The flowers have filled a place best known for its shades of browns and grays with brilliant blasts...

This is how dare we. Climate change is good. The more the merrier, so long as it doesn’t cause solar eclipses or earthquakes. LOL.

I'm more concerned with continental drift. If/when North America slams into Europe, it'll affect women & children like nothing we've ever seen.

Sounds like a great story. Too bad it’s behind a paywall

One of our kids has been on a motorcycle exploring the Death Valley Park the last few days. I’ll be interested in hearing his reports.

Death Valley is the most under-rated National Park, IMHO. It is stunning, even in the summertime. Joshua Tree National Park, which is close by, is also stunning. Highly recommend if anyone travels to southern California.

Yes, I’ve been to Joshua Tree, twice, back in the 90’s. It wasn’t a National Park then. And it was beautiful.

I once visited Death Valley in the summer. Amazingly, most of my fellow visitors were Germans.

An ancient off-again on-again lake has been revived in Death Valley.

Beautiful desert blossoms, longer growing seasons, thriving plant and animal life with more biodiversity — please tell me again why we’re supposed to hate climate change.

Instead, how about we rename it to “climate improvement”?

Or better still, just leave it at “climate”. ;). It’s going to do what it’s going to do. The Left are the ones who are trying to classify it as something.

Yeah, just like droughts come and go, so do torrential and long lasting rains.

If they did not, nothing would EVER grow there. Think about it.

We’re on the same page. Why can’t Canada grow oranges, cotton and mangos, too. Buffalo has had enough harsh winters. So has the heartland. Polar bears might like warm weather.

Reminds me of the final volume of the Dragon Reborn series by Robert Jordan. The long-dormant wasteland of the Aiel suddenly has torrential rains and a big lake, and men no longer go insane when they yield The Power.

How do cicadas get STDs. They only live as cicadas for one day. Then they lay their eggs and croak.

Exactly right. Canadians doing the mango dance in their hula skirts — they will be so happy!

They’ll make drums out of oil barrels and develop a whole more mellow attitude towards life. There’ll be a Bob MacMarley from Nova Scotia.

No woman, no cry, eh? And they’ll be freed from having to drain the life force from maple trees, which is Canada’s secret national guilt.
