If you aren't terrified by this heatwave, you should be
The extreme heat currently being felt in Europe isn’t the new normal – much worse is to come, and we are doing far too little to adapt, says Michael Le Page

The March summary for the Fort Collins weather station that our office maintains is chock-full of eye-popping stats. Highest single-month temperature anomaly in the 130+ year period of record, 8 days warmer than the previous March record, earliest 90° day on record by over a month, and more. #cowx

This is a graph of snowpack above Lake Powell using 104 snow measuring stations. It was 9 inches of water on March 7, now 6 inches. Other dry years shown.There is no historical analog to this.
Colorado River snowpack evolution since Oct 2025. Melt started about March 7.  Down to 6
Inches now from 9 inches then. There is no historical analog.

Colorado has an idea what climate change will be costing the state by mid-century: "Climate trends like deepening drought and extreme heat could wind up costing Colorado up to $37 billon" www.skyhinews.com/news/climate...

Climate change is already costing Colorado. A new report estimates how much costs will rise through 2050.
Shorter ski seasons, hotter summers, longer wildfire seasons, increasingly burdened infrastructure and other climate-related impacts could cost Colorado up to $37 billion by 2050.  This is according t...

NSF has put out a “Dear Colleague Letter” asking how to dismantle NCAR, the premier public atmospheric sciences center in the US. We must reject the premise. As a dedicated center bringing together scientists across disciplines and across the world, NCAR science has saved lives for over 65 years.

What A Snow Drought In The West Means For The Rest Of 2026
States like Utah and Colorado have had abysmal snow totals this winter. It’s not a good sign for a region struggling to maintain its water.

Here’s why: despite recent uptick in snowpack, snowpack near record low.

🤯🤯🤯 Full-on denial of reality. State capture by the fossil fuel lobby. The US descends into a banana republic. It would almost be funny if the consequences wouldn’t be so dire for billions of humans, if the courts don’t stop this folly soon. www.scientificamerican.com/article/epa-...

One major rule anchored U.S. climate policy. The EPA just threw it out
The Trump administration rescinded the 2009 “endangerment finding,” ending regulation of greenhouse gases from cars and trucks

Fearing that educated judges might rule on climate cases, Republican Attorneys General successfully bullied the The Federal Judicial Center (the education & research arm of the federal court system) into removing a chapter summarizing climate science from their scientific judicial reference manual.
In a letter Friday to West Virginia Attorney General JB McCuskey, the Federal Judicial Center said it had "omitted" the climate science chapter from its latest
Reference Manual on Scientific Evidence. The removal marks a significant victory for Republican efforts to thwart a raft of climate lawsuits that the fossil fuel industry has warned could cost it billions of dollars. On Friday, the Republican Attorneys General Association congratulated its members on X, writing that the "Federal Judicial Center has announced they are removing ridiculous WOKE climate science from judicial
manuals."
