FOURTH NATIONAL CLIMATE ASSESSMENT--CHAPTER 25: SOUTHWEST
   https://nca2018.globalchange.gov/chapter/25/

"Temperatures increased across almost all of the Southwest region from 1901 to 2016, with the greatest increases in southern California and western Colorado."

"Extreme heat episodes in much of the region disproportionately threaten the health and well-being of individuals and populations who are especially vulnerable (Ch. 14: Human Health, KM 1). Vulnerability arises from numerous factors individually or in combination, including physical susceptibility (for example, young children and older adults), excessive exposure to heat (such as during heat waves), and socioeconomic factors that influence susceptibility and exposure (for example, hot and poorly ventilated homes or lack of access to public emergency cooling centers). Communicable diseases, ground-level ozone air pollution, dust storms, and allergens can combine with temperature and precipitation extremes to generate multiple disease burdens (an indicator of the impact of a health problem).

"Episodes of extreme heat can affect transportation by reducing the ability of commercial airlines to gain sufficient lift for takeoff at major regional airports (Ch. 12: Transportation, KM 1).

"Native Americans are among the most at risk from climate change, often experiencing the worst effects because of higher exposure, higher sensitivity, and lower adaptive capacity for historical, socioeconomic, and ecological reasons. With one and a half million Native Americans, 182 federally recognized tribes,36 and many state-recognized and other non-federally recognized tribes, the Southwest has the largest population of Indigenous peoples in the country. Over the last five centuries, many Indigenous peoples in the Southwest have either been forcibly restricted to lands with limited water and resources or struggled to get their federally reserved water rights recognized by other users.40 Climate change exacerbates this historical legacy because the sovereign lands on which many Indigenous peoples live are becoming increasingly dry."

how much is the increase and what are the error bands ?  What about the
rest of the world ?

<snip alarmist crap>


the following is racist!  "Indians are weaklings"

what about the other 99% of the people that live there ??
and all conjecture too,

Yet significant man made "green house gas" production didn't start until
circa WWII.

This to me would be a big clue that the current warming is primarily
natural, ass hat.

Western Colorado is NOT getting too hot.

Change is normal.  The sky is not falling.
13.8 billion years ago, The Known Universe was infinitely hot.
