le temps

Quel temps fait-il?

White Christmas in Dallas, Texas. Feels like -11C.
About the same in Toronto.
Munich at +20C, Badewetter.
I needn't mention Russia.

"What serious disequilibria will occur, what global change must be expected in the whole climate from our growing industrial activities and technological prowess, which pour thousands of tons of carbon monoxide and other toxic wastes into the atmosphere? As of now we don't know how to estimate general transformations on such a scale of size and complexity. Above all, we surely don't know how to think about the relations between time and weather, temps and temps: a single French word for two seemingly disparate realities. For do we know a richer and more complete model of global change, of equilibria and their attractors, than that of climate and the atmosphere? We are trapped in a vicious circle." -- Michel Serres. The Natural Contract
