For your homework assignment please state the name of the paper and the
authors who predicted this result based on their climate models or other
forms of magical prognostication about chaotic systems. What? No one
predicted this? Oh, I see. It says "...the specific location of Denver
MAY have a greater impact on climate change..." Never mind.

Let's take my
adopted home city of Denver, Colorado, as an example. While cities can
and do occur everywhere, the specific location of Denver may have a
greater impact on climate change in North America than any other city
of any size here. Why? because of the location at the base of the
Front Range of the Rockies has altered the flow of the Chinook winds.
This has effected the weather over the much of the states of Kansas,
Nebraska and half of Iowa. By reducing the strength or even the
occurrence of these descending winds, we have changed the very nature
of how late winter and early spring effects the midwest. Between
Colorado Springs and Denver, up to 4 million square miles of land are
affected.
That's 4 million square miles of land DIRECTLY affected. We don't even
know or understand the ripple effect of this and how it might move the
gulf moisture flow around.
