In Case A Reminder Was Needed, Denver Fires 2021's Parting Shot From A Destabilized Climate
EDIT
Mother Nature issued a stern and what may be her last, urgent warning yesterday, as ONE HUNDRED MILE PER HOUR WINDS knocked down power lines and fueled a fire described as moving the distance of a football field in just seconds. This happened in Boulder County, Colorado and more than 600 homes, a shopping center and hotel were destroyed.
This was not a remote event in some national forest caused by unraked leaves, whatever that means. This was Main Street, suburban America, less than an hour west of sprawling Denver. It was a perfect storm of high winds and parched earth; November was the driest month in Boulder County since the beginning of those records 127 years ago.
The only question remaining is whether or not we have reached the tipping point, that moment in time when mankind has pushed the planet past the point of no return. The oceans are a hot, carbon-saturated garbage dump. Alternating drought, monsoons and extreme weather conditions like the one that caused yesterdays historic destruction in Superior, CO and unprecedented December tornadoes across Texas, Arkansas and Kentucky are causing increasing damage and interruptions in food production.
This is the reality of life on Earth as 2021 comes to a close. Its unlikely that 2022 will be any better.
