Aah yes, the "I don't care what happens to the world as long as I have lived comfortable by then"
Look, global warming is easily observable if you open your eyes. I give you a few examples (from my country)
1. All cities thend to plant trees along roads (looks pretty, lowers somewhat noise, etc). Always "local" tree kinds have been used. A few years ago, it was noticed that newly planted trees do no longer survive the summer. Every city is switching to mediterranian tree kinds now that are adopted to higher overall temperatures but make it through winter.
2. Bird life in Switzerland is segmented in low altitude bird kinds and alpine bird kinds. Those kind of birds that live in the alps have COMPLETELY disappeared and were partially replaced by bird kinds living in lower regions. Birds in lower regions are getting "replaced" by mediterranian bird kinds.
3. Amphibian kinds are disappearing rapidly (probably a combination of higher temperatures and heightened UV radiation).
4. Dangerous insects survive the winter, creating malaria and other problems in the (near?) future.
There are hundreds of other, smaller indicators that are likely the result of global warming.
Just go out and ask the right people and I'm sure they will be able to tell you how you can recognize global warming trends in your city...
