The focus here is on local-to-Colorado impacts and information. Anecdotal info welcome, but please keep it in the comments only, or flair your self-post "Discussion". If your observations are made with a repeatable process and your data is recorded in an accessible format, get that shit published and link post away.

There are many other places to post national and international news related to climate impacts (see related sub list at bottom). This is not one of them. If your news is inter/national but affects Colorado directly and/or Colorado is named in the content, please post and describe in a comment specifically how it relates to CO. Regional focus ok for general posts (watersheds, etc.) if Colorado mentioned in the content.

If you want to debate anthropogenic climate change's causes or actuality, go somewhere else to do so - this just isn't the place for it.

Remember, we're all humans here. Except the bots.
