Cities affect temperatures for thousands of miles
BOULDER - Even if you live more than 1,000 miles from the nearest large city, it could be affecting your weather.
In a new study that shows the extent to which human activities are influencing the atmosphere, scientists have concluded that the heat generated by everyday activities in metropolitan areas alters the character of the jet stream and other major atmospheric systems. This affects temperatures across thousands of miles, significantly warming some areas and cooling others, according to the study in Nature Climate Change.

Facts Show Electric Competition Works in Texas
From The Houston Chronicle January 24, 2013
 The Chronicle's editorial of Jan. 20, "Not so shocking," charges that "electric deregulation isn't working in Texas," that consumers have not benefited from lower prices from the deregulated - or "competitive" - market as promised. But a close look at the numbers shows consumers are doing very well. The fact is that Texas electric consumers in competitive areas who are willing to shop among retail providers are paying prices well below the regulated prices from a decade ago when consumers were still paying retail rates set by the state. The comparison is even starker if you factor in inflation.
Here are some numbers for those who buy electricity in CenterPoint Energy's service area: Last year it was common to find a one-year fixed price offer for electricity from a retail provider at 9 cents per kilowatt hour; variable price offers were as low as 5.2 cents per kilowatt hour.
Do you think consumers were better off in 2001, before the competitive market? Well, the regulated price per kilowatt hour in CenterPoint's service area was 10.4 cents then. Factoring in inflation, the equivalent today would be 13.6 cents.
"Essentially, consumers today can buy electricity on a fixed-term contract for 44% less than the prices of 2001."
Since 2001, has your cable bill gone down? Your phone bill? How about groceries? Taxes?
The fact is that retail electric prices in Texas have dropped steadily over the past few years even as the prices of other commodities, such as gasoline, crude oil and coal, have risen. The low electric prices in Texas' competitive market are not just the result of falling natural gas prices. Prices are low in Texas' competitive market even though the Henry Hub spot price for natural gas is about 40 percent higher in January 2013 than it was in December 2001.
Critics of competition seem to assume that had the electric industry not been restructured, prices would have somehow remained the same. This is extremely unlikely, especially when you consider that utilities would have been entitled to rate increases to build new power plants, upgrade and extend transmission lines, and reflect operating cost increases like health care costs and pensions.
In short, I respectfully submit that returning to a regulated system would not benefit consumers. Electric competition, in fact, is working in Texas, and the numbers show it.
