New climate report released for Colorado; state warmed by 1.5 degrees
CBS News Colorado ^ | January 9, 2024 | By Dillon Thomas

Colorado continues to grow warmer as a result of climate change, leading to increased risks of wildfires and extreme drought, according to Colorado State University and the Colorado Climate Center.

For the first time since 2014, the Colorado Climate Center released a state report, updating residents on the progression of climate change in Colorado and the potential impacts it may have in the years ahead.

"Since the last report we have had some major significant events," said Becky Bolinger, assistant state climatologist and professor at CSU.

Since the 1970s, Colorado has warmed more than 1.5 degrees. Though that may seem insignificant, the added warmth spread out across weeks, months and years has resulted in many changes to our climate, Bolinger said.

Bolinger said the good news from the report comes with climatologists noticing Coloradans have not placed the state's climate in a "worst-case-scenario" position. She said, while the state has warmed by 1.5 degrees on average, it has not warmed to more than 5 degrees. Meaning residents are taking some action to curb how much the state's temperature rises.

However, climatologists warn that the state is still on pace to warm another degree or more in the coming decades.

"It is not starting now and warming a bunch. We are already in it. This is a reminder that climate change is happening now, it is not something off in the distance in the future," Bolinger said.

Based on a bunch of temperature stations on rooftops next to A/C units and urban asphalt parking lots, no doubt.

That's the stupidest thing I've read so far this month. Well done, Coloradoans! You've single handedly arrested global warming. Well, at least STATE warming.

Since the 1970s the urban heat island effect for Denver, Boulder, Pueblo, Colorado Springs, fast growing cities where they have weather stations, has increased significantly. No surprise they might be getting slightly higher readings. Of course this year was due to strong el Niño and Hunga volcano eruption, not more CO2 molecules in the air.

Pretty stupid...temps fluctuate that much every day....even every hour. It is impossible to measure a large area with any kind of accuracy...lotsa manipulation to get some kind of average...I'd say that change is meaningless. It's simply an impossibility to resolve millions of numbers and come up with the "perfect" number.

“State warmed by 1.5 degrees”

So what? What was the temperature there 15000 years ago? What was it in the Medieval Warm period?

This is all so ridiculous.

So many flaws. No need to go into the laughable “science”. Just seeing “Colorado Climate Center” and “CBS” says all that need be said before hurling.

I may have accidentally coined a new epithet:

CLIMATARIANS

The certain way to end the Climate change hoax is to get rid of some people.

If the people espousing the hoax are gone, the problem will be as well

Its amazing that ‘climate change’ can identify state lines rather than just being generally regional.

Lie #1 - "Colorado continues to grow warmer as a result of climate change, leading to increased risks of wildfires and extreme drought"

Lie #2 - "Since the last report was issued Colorado has seen historic wildfires, drought and flooding throughout the state."

Lie #3 - "Our larger number of fires and our larger number of acres burned is connected to climate change, and that is something expected to continue into the future,"

Lie #4 - "Meaning residents are taking some action to curb how much the state's temperature rises."

Lie #5 - "It is not starting now and warming a bunch. We are already in it. This is a reminder that climate change is happening now, it is not something off in the distance in the future,"

It is my understanding that some parts of Colorado are set to raise to hell level temperatures.
