Climate Effects Blog

I was thinking the other day about the way that climate may affect people’s way of life, their behaviors, their emotions, etc, and decided to blog about it. It has to have at least a little effect on these things, does it not?

I mean, in terms of way of life, people in Siberia are going to have very different recreational activities and careers than those, say, in Florida. People in Siberia most likely stay inside their houses most of their days as temperatures are very frequently twenty below and less. People in Florida can do many more things outside of the house because the temperatures are more favorable.

As for behaviors and emotions, it seems like climate would affect them as well. You can’t tell me that people who live in Seattle where it rains a lot and Texas where there is nothing but arid land have a different outlook on people and life than people who live in Jamaica or Brazil where everything is beautiful and the weather is constantly amazing.

Then it makes me wonder – if people had the choice to live anywhere in the world, wouldn’t the majority want to live in the places where climate is more fair and forgiving? I suppose this is true if one looks at population density; more people live in the tropics than the polar regions. Just a thought.
