Three cities in Colorado — a state whose fortunes have been tied to the boom and bust of oil, gas and other commodities — are among the top 10 leading destinations for the nation's best and brightest as old cow and mining towns morph into technology hubs, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.

Boulder, the small college town located just north of Colorado's capital, is ranked No. 1 nationally in the Bloomberg Brain Concentration Index, which tracks business formation as well as employment and education in the sciences, technology, engineering and mathematics. Fort Collins and Denver follow at No. 4 and No. 10, respectively.

Are the best and brightest taking up skiing, or seeking higher ground amid rising sea levels?

    Please link to your predictive model which has a multi-year verified history after publication, and also matches non-manipulated historical temperature data.

    Be sure to include data showing sea level rise of greater than one mile so as to put Boulder, Colorodo at the new sea level within 90 years.

        So, your one-line post is a joke, and it's the same joke as the one used at the end of the SN summary.

        Did I get that right? Or should I use more redundancy?
