'Bring it on!' - confusion between climate and weather


S

ome welcome global warming, saying “Bring it on!”

Those same people argue they enjoy warm weather and would prefer that things were hotter, rather than cooler.

The trouble is, they argue in ignorance for they confuse the weather with climate and while an increase of a degree or two often makes for a more pleasant “here”, that same one or two degree increase globally can bring catastrophe.

Read more about this confusion in Elizabeth Farrelly’s piece in The Sydney Morning Herald - “Two degrees or four? It's a personal choice for survival in the near future”.
