Weather vs. Climate: Mood and Personality

Your outfit today is the weather, but your entire wardrobe is the climate.

That is the golden rule of climatology. Weather is just the mood the sky is in right now,

but climate is the personality it has had for thirty years. It is actually wild that we live at

the bottom of a massive ocean of gas called the atmosphere. It evolved from volcanoes and bacteria

over billions of years just to keep us alive. Without this invisible shield trapping

heat, Earth would be a frozen rock floating in space, so be grateful for

that greenhouse effect.
