The overarching question of this weeks reading is what amount of time do we need to look at before weather becomes climate. Thankfully this video exists and I watched it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mcHfU8w5AL4  It’s a lot to take in but I would figure that at least 100 years of weather and the change therein would be where I would start my measuring. A century behind now would put any measurement toward the start of the industrial revolution and the increased urbanization of the United States.

I feel like I can’t find or think of any really positive things that global warming will do for me.http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2013/01/pictures/130115-climate-change-superstorm-atmosphere-science/ Any socioeconomic growth I can think of possibly obtaining would count for very little if the world is slowly being made uninhabitable. But a nice beach house in what used to not be beach front property would be a lot like having the nicest cabin on the Titanic. My hometown already had a massive redorc breaking flood my senior year of high school. http://www.nytimes.com/2011/09/10/nyregion/ny-region-in-triage-mode-as-flooding-persists.html?_r=0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cLn0ZRzd4bk   So global warming has already made it cheaper to live in my hometown if I wanted to. That’s arguably a positive.
