Weather and climate

There is a clear distinction to be made between "weather" and "climate". The weather report that one hears several times a day is often mentioned as "climate change". Whatever the weather, the effect of "weather" on the individual and the population is profound.

In the UK we seem to be unprepared for any change in the weather. Spring rains, summer heat, winter snows are all equally unexpected.

We may not believe in a changing climate or global warming, as a matter of fact, we do not believe the weather reports. Why should we? Chop down the trees, burn the oil, live fast, die young, postpone the bills, we can pay the price....tomorrow .... Ahgggha ..... too late, money won't work anymore.
