for what it's worth, climate change does seems quite pronounced in some countries (india, china), but that may be more due to local environmental damage than global trends per se. harbin, china, for example, used to experience 4~5 foot snow storms every winter. you'd open the door and there'd be a wall of snow. these days you're lucky to see a foot. some locals will say it's global warming--which it may be--but northern china has also undergone extensive deforestation in the last 60 years. you'd expect changes in precipitation if you cut down 75% of the tree cover.
