Global warming is the observed increase in the average temperature of the Earth's near surface air and oceans in recent decades and its projected continuation. Models referenced by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) predict that global temperatures are likely to increase by 1.1 to 6.4 °C (2.0 to 11.5 °F) between 1990 and 2100.[1] The uncertainty in this range results from two factors: differing future greenhouse gas emission scenarios, and uncertainties regarding climate sensitivity.

Why mightn't global warning be natural? The dinosaurs died out due to changed clima, and that certainly was not because of human activities.

More cars and gas to the people.

Orinda looks like a beautiful place, but I lived in San Jose.

Without the carbon dioxide produced by cars, etc, it wouldn't happen at the rate it happens. Or are you among the few who think that our last few winters (and summers) have been normal?

The dinosaurs probably died because of a catastrophic change in Earth's climate, yes, as in caused by a rock from outer space. Think of it as global warming on steroids.

[Litigious]

I honestly think this whining about global warming is just silly and human-centered as usual. This planet doesn't give a damn about if we live or die. Enviromentalism is in fact just another form of human ego-centrism. How bad if this illustrious specie mankind were wiped out from the face of Earth!  Other species will take our place. That's the way it has always been.

Don't you think people have the right to worry about the survival of the species?

[Litigious]

Of course they can worry, it's just that I honestly don't bother very much about it.

The global warming is speculative and if it happened, it happened only after a sort of "nuclear winter" caused by all the dust and smoke in the atmosphere that the six miles across meteor caused.

Which was my point. The whole global warming thing is about stuff that should, but can't, escape the atmosphere.

There's nothing speculative about it.

San Jose.

I'm sorry. 

Makes perfect sense why you moved to Colorado!!

I did not move straight here after leaving California.  I lived in three other states first.

I thought that San Jose, California was a nice place to live, but very expensive.  I was struck by how polite the other drivers were.  They would make a gap and let you merge.  Also, the weather was very nice, if you did not mind semi-arid conditions.
