Boulder Wildfires and Media Gaslighting Over Global Warming

The recent Marshall fire in Boulder, Colorado and neighboring communities was the most destructive fire in Colorado history, moving quickly and relentlessly, destroying more than 1,000 homes, leaving an apocalyptic level of destruction in its wake. Nature can be vicious, oblivious to human activities or desires.

A confluence of weather events including high winds and lack of recent precipitation combined to fan the flames of this inferno. The fire was quickly and predictably blamed on global warming, now called climate change, although a changing climate, including moisture and drought, are nothing new to Colorado and have been occurring long before gas-guzzling SUVs and air conditioners were a staple of American life.

Don’t tell the corporate media, however. This is how they reported on the Boulder wildfires.

From NBC, “How climate change primed Colorado for a rare December wildfire.” The Washington Post agreed, “How extreme climate conditions fueled unprecedented Colorado fire.” An echo from Colorado Public Radio, “Why a fire scientist sees climate fingerprints on the suburban Boulder County fires.” And from Axios, “Climate changes linked to Colorado's fire disaster.”

Colorado was once under water. Not recently, but during both the Paleozoic and Cretaceous periods of the Earth’s history. Colorado was home to rainforests and 70-foot-long sea creatures called plesiosaurs. Somehow, long before human activity, the climate changed, and Colorado went from warm beachfront to high desert and cold winter temperatures.

Chicago was once covered by a mile-thick ice sheet. The Laurentide Ice sheet covered most of Canada and a large chunk of the northern United States. This was between 20,000 and 95,000 years ago, and then the climate changed, with enough global warming to melt the ice sheet. This all occurred long before there was any significant human activity. Obviously, something else changed the climate,

Let me be the first to advance the hypothesis that the change was due to bison and wooly mammoth flatulence. Now where’s my government grant so I can give this further study???

Boulder has always had high winds. (100 plus mph) All it needed was a dry year and a spark.

I lived in the foothills of the Rockies during college. At the old rental house we would get whitecaps in the toilet when the wind blew hard. I’m guessing it had something to do with the sewer vent pipe sticking up out of the roof.

You can watch re-runs of Rawhide with Roudy Yates to hear about Praire grass fires. Boulder County could have mowed the dry grass and hauled away the 3 foot long grass clippings. 95% of the fuel removed. Problem solved. You will not have a dry grass Praire fire if the fuel is not there. If they can grow and harvest and remove hay(switch grass), they can do likewise with open space grass.

I live the Albuquerque metro. It gets seriously windy here. We don't quite get whitecaps in the toilet, but on windy days you can watch the water level go up and down with the gusts.

That’s some trick to get surf in the toilet!
