    Jasper wildfire/climate change

    Do you all you folks selectively picking one weather measurement from one point in time know that climate is NOT the same as weather?

    Is that Athabasca? If so am I wrong in remembering much deeper ice from 50 years back or so?

    Jasper wildfire/climate change

    When I was in grad school nearly 40 years back, just warming itself had confidence intervals of warming predictions high enough that allowed my meteorology professor to say hold on, we aren't certain yet. Since that time all projections have proven to be wrong. The climate has warmed up MUCH...

    Good job of capturing our dilemma. Despite Biden's dropping out the issue is the same--deciding between the lesser of two evils. Of course, one is an existential evil...;) I fear the Dems a lot less on issues related to hunting and conservation. This whole threads reason for being has...

    Hard to get more right leaning as a source than this: https://newrepublic.com/post/184014/trump-adviser-project-2025-pain-ass Heritage Foundation President Kevin Roberts has claimed the project has already “trained and vetted” more than 10,000 people to replace executive branch employees...

    Agreed. I said this earlier I think, but we have noted in my state how closely they work with republican state legislators. They draft bills that they carry verbatim all the time. HUGE influence--I have strong beliefs that is the same issue across the country. They are kind of like what the...

    Doubt that would occur although there's zero question the republicans are talking that up--they of course would greatly restrict if not eliminate permitting needs for them. And even if they did ban, existing leases would still be producing money. I might guess waiting for more confirmation...

    Double that and you still have less than 2 percent of the entire population. Transposing extremist views to a much larger part of the population than actually exists is a big part of the problem in this country and something that has changed dramatically over the years.

    I would say two views of non-existent camps. The majority are more in the middle than the extremes you noted.

    What Trump supporters need to ask themselves and consider is the flip side of this--say Trump wins and they are successful in implementing or at least starting to implement much of the provisions of Project 2025--what would you say if the next administration is a very far left one? Do you want...

    FWIW--as most know, Wiki is not perfect, but for VERY popular and hot items corrections are made more often if folks can document references or otherwise show something is wrong. It says the following about project 2025:

    Agreed. I think that comes from observing loss of wild places--I can sure relate to that, that's painful to watch. But the way I see it, there are places in the developed world with far more human density that have still managed to protect and preserve wild lands for public use. We ought...

    "without bypassing important protections for our environment and impacted communities,” The accuracy of that statement by Manchin is what will determine succesful passage--or not. Noting the later passage "creating hurdles for those who want to challenge them on environmental or other...

    I would hope the public land hunters kept their cool. I could see that going really bad really fast.

    Found some recent xcel discussion about the georgetown system. Our Cabin Creek hydroelectric plant was the highest altitude pumped storage plant in the world when it was built in 1967 above Georgetown, Colorado, in the Rocky Mountains. Water is released from Cabin Creek’s upper reservoir...

    Some of you likely know a lot more about it than I do, but wasn't there a pumped storage operation set up many years ago near Georgetown CO? Seem to recall Xcel talking about their involvement in that. Xcel is moving into renewable energy in a big way,as they retire coal plants. The...

    Probably not trivial to the majority of people who are on the fence and this may have them wanting to question whether cougar hunting should be allowed at all--and looks pretty low to many hunters too I suspect. If I were a cougar hunter I'd not want to see this as I'd fear it would...
