Global warming and cold winters

While walking to the train on Friday morning I wasn't too worried about global warming. I think -24 °C is quite freezing. Somehow I can remember they promised some years ago, that the climate in Finland would be more like Italy in the future. That was good news. Unfortunately it's obviously not true. You see, this year the forecasters think the climate and especially the winters will change to similar than in Siberia. Which means freezing cold. Goodbye, warmth of Italy. Winters will be cold and you never know how the summers will be.

It seems like nobody knows for sure how the global warming will affect this globe. However, one thing is sure. There will be even more changes in the weather. Of course, the weather has been quite messed up lately. Extreme heatwave and bushfires in Australia in the beginning of this year, floods, drought and hurricanes here and there.

Maybe in the future it would be good to live in a few different countries. When it becomes too cold, you could pack your bag and go to Spain for a while. And when it becomes too hot, come back again. Great idea. Problem solved. Of course it doesn't help global warming. When people are flying here and there, the effects of global warming won't stop. They won't stop for a while anyway, because the ecosystem is messed up for some time.

So let's focus on other things instead. It's Monday tomorrow and I feel tired. You see, sometimes it's just enough to concentrate on everyday life and it's challenges. Ugh, I have spoken.
