Climate vs Weather: A Response to Willful Ignorance.

I’ll try and keep it simple. Weather ≠ climate.

Weather is local. It is created by the existing atmospheric conditions. It rains because the clouds are supersaturated with moisture.

When I'm not watching the world around me I'm an animal lover, naturalist, woodworker and photographer. The order changes daily.
