It's worth pointing out here that, thousands of years ago, Colorado was under water. While a case can be made for human-influenced climate change, it's still a fact that the earth's climate also changes on its own. If we're going to be here (which seems likely), we have to adapt to that. Most people are not willing to give up the benefits of fossil fuel (which has improved every area of our life from the food supply to medicine and housing) in order to try and stave-off the inevitable changes, whether they're caused by humans or not. A good book on this subject is The Moral Case for Fossil Fuels.
