Climate is long-term; weather is short-term

Response to Don't Confuse Climate and Weather

People seem to prefer living in warmer places, as the warmer regions in the USA are growing faster than the colder regions. Arizona, the hottest state in the USA, is one of the two fastest growing states in the USA.

I expect that global warming should be good for Alaska. The glaciers may be receding but warming weather would allow more crops to be grown and people could participate in a wider range of outdoor activities. In a warmer Alaska, people should save on heating and clothing costs.

Global warming would be bad for Arizona, however. It is too hot here in summer. However, on the bright side this may help control Arizona's rapid population growth.

Global warming is unquestionably undeniable, but it must have some benefits. A warmer world wouldn't necessarily be a less hospitable world in all places. It may be better in some places but not as good in other places.
