Photos of wildfire from Bryce Canyon

I took these photos in the past two days. The fire started near Brian Head when a cabin owner tried to clear weeds on his property by burning them. Unbelievable.

Excess ice = "climate change"

There's so much news about unusually high amounts of ice and snow that I can't list it all, but here are a few links. Although this doesn't fit the climate change predictions, this ice and snow is nevertheless blamed on "climate change."

First, look at this release from the University of Manitoba:

Large Canadian Arctic climate change study cancelled due to climate change
The Science Team of the Canadian Research Icebreaker CCGS Amundsen has cancelled the first leg of the 2017 Expedition due to complications associated with the southward motion of hazardous Arctic sea ice, caused by climate change.
This regrettably postpones the much-anticipated Hudson Bay System Study (BaySys) involving 40 scientists from five universities across Canada. Timing was key for this $17 million, four-year, University of Manitoba-led project.
The need to deal with extreme ice conditions in the south meant the ship would arrive too late on site to meet research objectives.
The decision to terminate the 2017 program has significant impacts on partners and the large number of graduate students involved.
“Considering the severe ice conditions and the increasing demand for Search And Rescue operations (SAR) and ice escort, we decided to cancel the BaySys mission. A second week of delay meant our research objectives just could not be safely achieved – the challenge for us all was that the marine ice hazards were exceedingly difficult for the maritime industry, the CCG, and science,” says Dr. David Barber, Expedition Chief Scientist and BaySys Scientific Lead.

Delingpole in his typical rhetorical style calls this "Ship of Fools III."
