At the Weather Underground's “Climate Change Center,” you can see how your local climate has changed over the years.
'If little green men were killing our kid's home, Earth, like your use of fossil fuels is, WE'D GO TO WAR!' 'War's won when enough decide they have to win. They figure out 'how,' later.' WWIII IS RAGING. GHG FUEL IS HISTORY'S #1 HUMAN RIGHTS ATROCITY. Global Warming from CO2, say Earth's 3500 qualified scientists... is ALL OUT WAR OF MASS DESTRUCTION on your kids, grandkids. Plan B tells us the HOW. This site tells the status of our, so-far, COWARDICE - GLOBAL ECOCIDE. FOREVER.
BBC News - NASA Hansen's climate warning

Global warming due to human-made gases, mainly CO2, is already 0.8{\deg}C and deleterious climate impacts are growing worldwide. More warming is 'in the pipeline' because Earth is out of energy balance, with absorbed solar energy exceeding planetary heat radiation. Maintaining a climate that resembles the Holocene, the world of stable shorelines in which civilization developed, requires rapidly reducing fossil fuel CO2 emissions. Such a scenario is economically sensible and has multiple benefits for humanity and other species. Yet fossil fuel extraction is expanding, including highly carbon-intensive sources that can push the climate system beyond tipping points such that amplifying feedbacks drive further climate change that is practically out of humanity's control. This situation raises profound moral issues as young people, future generations, and nature, with no possibility of protecting their future well-being, will bear the principal consequences of actions and inactions of today's adults.
