Global warming is real.

[Not my photo. I found it on Google. As soon as it freakin' freezes here , I'll take a picture]

Global warming is real. When I was a kid growing up in the 70s, and you notice this as a school kid, the morning after Halloween almost always had frost on the ground here in San Joaquin Valley. By the 80s it was a few days after Halloween, by the 90s it was a week later, and now it's almost two weeks later, almost to Thanksgiving. This year the ground hasn't frosted yet, and It's December 1st. But that's because of normal weather variations. It never frosted here in other years, too. But ON AVERAGE, there's been change. I guessing that global warming since I was born in 1963 has been about 3 degrees. At least that's what it looks like out here. And just think, I might never have drawn this conclusion had I not remained living here my whole life.
At the same time, look at how much everyday life has changed to use more energy all over the world. Next, look at how much the CO2 level in the atmosphere has shot up since 1963. Next, look at the accelerated glacial melt. That's as direct a link to temperature change of an unnatural rate as you'll ever find. Our environment is showing lots of stress. We are trying to document these changes and their effects in order to prove this is true, scientifically, on paper, but as for me, no paper proof can compare to the frosty grass proof I've observed here at home.
