No, Climate Change Is Not to Blame for Modest Colorado Drought

The Colorado Sun published an article yesterday claiming climate change is causing extreme drought in the state and devastating agricultural production. In reality, cyclical drought is an ongoing phenomenon in Colorado, with recent years being dry but not unusually dry. Moreover, the notion of climate-change devastation is contradicted by record agricultural production in recent years in the state.
The Colorado Sun article, titled “Climate change ravaged Colorado and the West with heat and drought in 2020. This year may be worse,†ignores objective data reported by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). According to NOAA data, shown in the chart below, cyclical drought comes and goes, but there has been no trend in overall precipitation as the Earth modestly warms, save for a significant increase in precipitation since the middle of the 20th century.

Meanwhile, here in SW Connecticut we're having snow almost every other day.
Quite a change from last year...!

Ocean rising, but never anywhere you've been.

You name it and some facist politician has blamed the weather on human activity, for fun and mostly for profit.
The Rodents in California even have what they call "earthquake weather".
