First of all, let's set the record straight-
global warming is not happening right now
and I've posted plenty of proof for that truth.
Here is another truth-
Climate Change is about far more than the weather.
Political Climate
The political climate is the aggregate, current mood and opinions of a populace about political issues that also currently affect that population. It is generally used to describe a state of change in mood and opinions rather than a state of equilibrium. The phrase has origins from both ancient Greece and medieval-era France.
While the concept of a political climate has been used historically to describe both politics and public reactions to political actions in various forms, the naming of the concept by the addition of the modifier "political" to the base "climate" has been fairly recent/ Public opinion is also widely used incorrectly as a synonym for political climate.
Economic Climate
A general characterization of the overall mood of the global economy or of a regional economy, which captures the status of the stock market, the perception of the economy by consumers, and the availability of jobs and credit. Business decisions such as hiring, borrowing, lending, and investment in new initiatives are often strongly influenced by the overall economic climate.

Educational Climate
Classroom Climate
the classroom environment, the social climate, the emotional and the physical aspects of the classroom. It’s the idea that teachers influence student growth and behavior. The student’s behavior affects peer interaction--the responsibility of influencing these behaviors is placed with the Instructor. The way the instructor organizes the classroom should lead to a positive environment rather than a destructive and/or an environment that is not conducive to learning. Dr. Karen L. Bierman, the Director of the Penn State Child Study Center and Professor of Psychology, believed that a teacher needs to be "invisible hand" in the classroom.
"The promise and potential of studying the "invisible hand" of teacher influence on peer relations and student outcomes: A commentary." ( Karen L. Bierman, Journal of applied Developmental Psychology, SI Teachers and Classroom Social Dynamics).
School Climate
Refers to the quality and character of school life. School climate is based on patterns of students', parents', and school personnel's experience of school life and reflects norms, goals, values, interpersonal relationships, teaching and learning practices, and organizational structures.

Organisation Climate
Organizational Climate
Culture vs Climate
Internal Climate
The conditions, entities, events, and factors within an organization the influence its activities and choices, particularly the behavior of the employees. Factors that are frequently considered part of the internal environment include the organization's mission statement, leadership styles, and its organizational culture.
Emotional Climate
Unlike emotional atmospheres, which depend on group members focusing on a particular event, emotional climates involve the relationships between group members. They involve feelings such as the collective fear used by a dictatorship to ensure order (or, conversely, the tranquility with which one may speak), the trust essential to the formation of social capital, the security provided by an adequate attention to human rights, or the anger or despair aroused by pervasive corruption. Although such climates are socially constructed and perceived by individuals, they are objective in the sense that they are perceived as existing apart from an individual's personal feelings. They reflect how individuals think the majority of others are feeling in the group's current situation (de Rivera, 1992a).

Socio-Emotional Climate
The evaluative indicator of the full diversity of interactions that seem occur within a computer-based learning environment. The high socio-emotional climate is due to the ability of facilitating social and emotional interactions in order to enhance the learners' motivation, self-assessment and self-motivation.

And God said, "Let there be lights in the firmament of the heavens to separate the day from the night, and let them be for signs
and for seasons and for days and for years, and let them be lights in the firmament of the heavens to give light upon the earth." And it was so. And God made the two great lights, the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night; he made the stars also. And God set them in the firmament of the heavens to give light upon the earth, to rule over the day and over the night, and to separate the light from the darkness. And God saw that is was good. And there was evening and there was morning, a fourth day.

Nice one Shirl, we are still enjoying the end of the last ice age which ended about 10 k years ago. One needs to look at longer periods then just the last 150 years to get an understanding of how climate changes.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Sol. Agreed. Not only are all things cyclic, but they are cycles within cycles with slight variances much as we see in the mandelbrot, with each having a relative influence according to its degree and measure.
