Klaus Wolter predicts that the La Nina pattern that seems to be setting in will drive the jet stream north thus causing Colorado to stay dry. He says, “”I am very concerned that Colorado … might see regions of drought develop by spring.” To read more, click here to read the story in the Rocky Mountain News.

The Weather Channel founder calls global warming the “greatest scam in history.”
John Coleman let his feelings be known on a blog recently and made it clear he didn’t buy into the hype over man-made climate change. Among his comments:
It is the greatest scam in history. I am amazed, appalled and highly offended by it. Global Warming; It is a SCAM. Some dastardly scientists with environmental and political motives manipulated long term scientific data to create an allusion of rapid global warming. Other scientists of the same environmental whacko type jumped into the circle to support and broaden the research to further enhance the totally slanted, bogus global warming claims. Their friends in government steered huge research grants their way to keep the movement going. Soon they claimed to be a consensus.
Environmental extremists, notable politicians among them, then teamed up with movie, media and other liberal, environmentalist journalists to create this wild scientific scenario of the civilization threatening environmental consequences from Global Warming unless we adhere to their radical agenda. Now their ridiculous manipulated science has been accepted as fact and become a cornerstone issue for CNN, CBS, NBC, the Democratic Political Party, the Governor of California, school teachers and, in many cases, well informed but very gullible environmentally conscientious citizens. Only one reporter at ABC has been allowed to counter the Global Warming frenzy with one 15 minute documentary segment.
Wow! Pretty strong stuff but I do think it highlights that despite the media’s portrayal, there isn’t really a consensus on how much man impacts the climate. You can read the rest of his comments here.

Wrong again? Despite predictions, 2007 may rank as most inactive hurricane season in the last 30 years.
This marks the second year in a row forecasters predicted above normal hurricane activity only to have it be the opposite. Despite the “sky is falling” predictions about how global warming is the cause of all sorts of disasters, including an increased threat of hurricanes, we find the opposite is actually occurring. For more information see this page from the Center for Ocean-Atmospheric Prediction Studies.

It always seems like we have some sort of moisture on Halloween doesn’t it?
Historically there is actually a pretty good chance that we will! Click here for more.
Thornton recorded its first snow of the season today with 1 1/2″ falling during the night and morning.
As usual though, it didn’t stick around long and was melting by the end of the day.
What can we expect in November?
November is actually Denver’s second snowiest month so the potential is there for a good bit of moisture. Temperatures can vary widely with Denver having seen a record high of 80 degrees and a record low of -18. Forecast models right now show above normal temperatures can be expected for the month with an indeterminate amount of moisture. For more on what to expect and what Denver has seen in November in the past, check out the Climatological Preview for November.
