Climate change, demographics, water, food, energy, global health, women’s empowerment – these issues are all intertwined. We cannot look at one strand in isolation. Instead, we must examine how these strands are woven together. Ban Ki-moon

To calm the climate
How does the weather affect your mood? This got me thinking about climate change and its impact on our planet. I’m concerned about its impact on my planet, my mood, and all of us.

Haiku: Climate Control & Change – Global warming affects all of us
If we want to address global warming, along with the other environmental problems associated with our continued rush to burn our precious fossil fuels as quickly as possible, we must learn to use our resources more wisely, kick our addiction, and quickly start turning to sources of energy that have fewer negative impacts. David Suzuki

On climate conversations
Mad weather issues…
Which mood do I choose?
Climate control? Climate change?
Changes affect us!
What about you? How do the weather and global climate changes affect you? Do you ever think about it?
My fellow bloggers were equally creative with their selections. Check out how others interpreted the theme, Climate Control, below.
This post was inspired by a WP Daily Post prompt: Climate Control. The idea that the weather and people’s moods are connected is quite old. Do you agree? If yes, how does the weather affect your mood?
Positive Motivation Tip: Whether climate change or control, we need to pay attention to weather changes and do our part by speaking out about global warming.

I think it’s a crock, but some people swear that the weather affects their mood.
The weather greatly affects my mood. Rainy days make me extremely sleepy even if I got a full nights worth a rest the day before.
We would all have to make big changes in order to deal with this issue. I think it’s better to be proactive than to wait for more of the negative effects to force us to change.
Thank-You for this post!! I hear about climate change on NPR almost every day and it scares me to pieces!
lovely pictures and good post!! Our climate is changing and we need to be aware of it!
I appreciate you’ve found a unique way to share this huge issue. Thanks
Our climate is clearly changing. You. An tell just in the changing weather patterns
I always look forward to reading your posts! The rain these pasts few days definitely has effected my mood. I prefer the sun
I am definitely one of those people who suffers from seasonal depression. The dark and cold last for so long in Chicago–it’s no fun at all. Thankfully we have a trip planned to a warm location to look forward to and escape winter for a while.
weather affects my mood a lot i am happier when the sun is shinning and feel like being lazy when it is rainy
I like how you always weave kind words with beautiful images
Cloudy days depress me and cloudy, dark and rainy days just make me want to sleep. I love snowy days though because it’s super bright outside!
God sure made our earth so cool. I love the pictures of different weather.
Its so important to tell us about the global warming it needs to remind us about this
The weather has the power to completely change my mood, and considering all of the rain and drastic changes in temperature outside this fall, I have been up and down all season long. I too am very concerned for our world, especially if real measures to combat global climate change aren’t taken. This is something that cannot wait.
This is a powerful image of how our world is changing and we must remember we have to look after earth like it has don us.
The world is now really experiencing global warming. Right now it should be already cold in the Philippines but temperature has not decreased and it still feels like summer.
In my side of the globe, we’re experiencing a change in our usual climate during the -ber months. It is normally cooler when October sets in, but now it’s December already and still the weather is comparably hotter than the previous years. Regarding the weather affecting our mood… it can, if we allow it. We still can choose our mood and reaction to whatever life, or the weather, throws at us every day.
Reblogged this on Concierge Librarian.
If we don’t take these things seriously once and for all then we are going to be in big trouble
Oh Elizabeth… Climate Change is what I’ve been thinking about sine last few days. My hometown is right now devastated with non stop rains. Water is running 5 ft in some places on roads! This is the biggest rainfall of the century…
Is Climate change, affecting my mood??? Hell yeah, my dear and near ones have lost so much of their belongings. Its miserable!!!
Honestly, I do my part – which might not be much when compared to others.
I do think weather changes the way you are feeling. I have a friend that struggles in the winter.
Cimate change does affect my mood. When it rains, it gets me homesick!
I agree, climate change and how we go about it is completely intertwined with so many other social issues. We’ve become an ambivalent society, distracted by small things and it’s difficult to get people to act on things that truly make an impact.
Very well said!! I think I would rather choose to climate control, everyone affects in climate change but yes, we need to do our part to seek our earth mother.
Yes it has affected me. We are seeing different weather patterns in here in New England. I don’t like the heat so not happy with the changes personally as well as globally as person on a changing planet.
It as a big difference between climate change and climate control, I think we should do to discipline ourselves, everybody in this world affects because of climate change.
Yes I do notice that on days where it is rainy I am tired and unmotivated. On cloudy days I can be depressed and sad. But on sunny days I am happy and motivated and full of energy.
Apart from anything else I wonder if the political leaders in our world yet have the political will to create a climate policy. Possibly things may have to get a little nearer the edge for people to start seriously reacting, but then I may be wrong. Hope so !
The weather does effect my mood but I grew up in a city that was in clouds for the entire winter so I’m very used to it! I don’t like it when it’s cold though, it makes me grumpy haha
I always thought climate affects one’s mood.
Very nice pictures also posted.
Our weather and planet is important! We need to remember that
I’m not sure what the plural of haiku is but this is a very powerful collection.
Interesting Post and I love that quote too… “Climate is what we expect, Weather is what we get.” Mark Twain
Global warming is a serious problem. We need to do something to fix it
Climate now is really much different. It’s December here and it feels like summer. We really should address global warming.
My mom has always said that weather affects her mood. It affects her health too (for instance if rain is coming she says it hurts her sinuses and she can tell).
I like you various haiku posts as they were very visual. I am amazed at how you put them together with artistic catchy words. – Fred
I’ve been exploring your haiku and totally enjoying it. Creative topics to apply the format to!
simply love Mark Twain quotes. It could be used in so many different ways. I am happy that you explained the difference as well
What an interesting point of view. (I love the quote in the beginning.) It’s funny how so many people can view a simple two word phrase so different.
We live on flat prairie land in Tornado Alley. I have definitely noticed an increase in the tornado activity around here, which scares me. Hopefully, we humans can deal with the climate change.
I’ve never thought about the weather changes and how they affect me.
My husband is very involved with a group fighting for people to open their eyes about the dangers of climate change.
I love the positive motivation tip. It’s indeed important to pay attention!
Climate change is a big topic right now. I hope more people become more aware like you and something happens!
Lovely haiku, and a very timely topic at that. Thanks for sharing. 🙂
I love this post. These is really great. Thanks for sharing.
I don’t think much about how the weather will affect me personally, but I do wonder how the climate will be for my kids when they’re older, and for their kids, and so on. We need to take better care of our planet.
It’s not so much weather as it is light. If it’s dark outside and gloomy, that gets me down. When there’s light, I’m much cheerier.
Yes, climate change is something we all need to pay attention to and take seriously.
Those photos are truly gorgeous. The weather always affects my mood. If its gross and miserable outside usually my mood is the same!
I think the climate can definitely affect our moods. I know when it’s cloudy and rainy I feel more lethargic. When it’s sunny I feel more energetic. Maybe it doest affect everyone but that’s usually my response. Great article!
This is indeed a great post and subject. We really all need to pay attention to how much climate control changes are affecting us. I really never connected the climate change with the mood changes but it is really something that affects us all I believe.
I do not think about climate change much this article definitely got me thinking!
My family is grieving the loss of a dear friend to y youngest son, looking at the seasons bring to mind change and I hope his family and mine can somehow move forward as doe the seasons
While I am enjoying the warmer temperatures this season, it’s not normal – which frightens me. What will our children and their children experience in their lifetimes?
It makes me wonder sometimes how people could pretend that Climate Change isn’t real. I honestly hope the day comes when we can finally stop it from becoming any worse! :O
I used to hate rainy weather when I was young, but I have learned to appreciate it when I was getting older. I realized it’s an important part of life and that there are people who depend on it for their livelihood. I’m also quite concerned about global warming. We need to perform drastic measures now to help save our planet.
The changes in our climate is becoming more and more apparent everyday. It’s heartbreaking, really.
Yes climate change does affect all of us. And we can actually do something instead of keep destroying the mother nature. Start with recycling and reduce the usage of energy. Every little effort counts.
