Are you preparing for climate change in your area or hoping it can be reduced, stopped or reversed?

6. I lived through the shocker 1997 Fort Collins Spring Creek flash flood that killed five

in central Fort Collins, destroyed two vulnerable trailer parks--sending its residents scurrying to try to make it up trees--several to no avail-- all the while most (on higher land had no clue what was going on, other than an intense rain storm). By morning the devastation was clear (including much on the campus of CSU)

Ironically, this flood was almost to the day the anniversary of the infamous Big Thompson Flood of 1976--the deadliest (144 dead) in recorded CO history. In 2013 much of the same areas suffered an incredible (if less deadly) mass flood. So, I already knew the risks of flash floods in canyon country--but in the middle of Fort Collins? Wow.


So, no I don't take climate change lightly. I feel very sorry for those who have to face their children and grandchildren. We, as a society have truly let them down. I do what I can to limit my own addition to the problem, but it depresses me to think how little good it will do.
