March Madness: When ‘Record Heat’ Caused by ‘Climate Change’ is Just a Stuck Weather Pattern

Every so often, a monthly temperature report comes along that gets breathless coverage—“hottest ever,” “unprecedented,” “climate signal unmistakable,” and so on. March 2026 appears to have been one of those months, at least if you focused narrowly on the contiguous United States (CONUS), which indeed posted a record warm March.

Weather doesn’t get any better than Colorado’s right now. Spring skiing when it’s warm and pleasant and good snow conditions, accept for not having enough of it. 7 resorts remain open after today.

No, that’s the intent of the headline; to tell all of the Gullibles what to think. Just as they are also indoctrinated to behave and do as they are told. A large part of the population has had their skepticism forcibly removed; the only thing they are skeptical of are rational thinking skeptics!
