		<description>Prof. Jones to Mr. O&#039;Conner:

&quot;Climate change has been occurring throughout Earth&#039;s history and given what we know, we should never expect climates to stay the same. That being said there clearly are short and long term variations (cycles) in temperature, but our situation today is showing that humans have likely changed the trajectory and disrupted the natural cycling. There are only two long term stations in the Napa area ... the Napa State Hospital and St Helena and their changes are well documented. While there could be an urban signal in these two sites, the USHCN has examined these and considered them to have minimal urbanization.&quot;</description>

		<description>Mr. O&#039;Connor, thank you for your comment. While I cannot speak for Prof. Jones, I would encourage you to read the essay referenced at the bottom of the page of this portion under the &lt;strong&gt;For Further Reading&lt;/strong&gt; heading.  There is also a link to another collaborative essay in part 1 of the interview. I will write Prof. Jones to alert him of your comment. Cheers.</description>

		<description>Professor Jones, 
Do you believe global warming to be part of a natural long-term temperature variation cycle or man-made?
When you say that especially in Napa, “growing seasons are just quite different today than they were before. Minimum temperature have gone up tremendously”; to what specific weather stations are you referring to?
Data from Napa Co. Hospital and Saint Helena stations confirm your analysis, but I found both Angwin (Howell Mountain) and Calistoga data totally inconclusive (basically the same levels); and couldn’t find data from the 60s and 70s from Oakville. 
This significant increase in mean minimum temperatures for Napa and Saint Helena stations could be attributed to urbanization?
