For decades it has kidnapped headlines. Climate change has come to stay! Scientists have been puzzled by the shift in weather conditions due to global warming. It has made us more conscious of our environment: we now recycle and reuse, refrain from using plastic, donate to environmental organizations, applaud little girls begging the UN to do something to save Earth. Climate change is quite an equalizer: it affects us all regardless of our socio-economic conditions, religion or race. But what can global warning teach us about our internal world? How do we deal with the constant shift in temperatures of our character?

Growing up in Caracas, with its perpetual Spring-like temperatures all year round, was (at least in the topic of weather conditions) pretty simple. By looking for grey clouds or the singing of birds you would know if it was going to rain or not. Should you bring a sweater for the early morning or chilly nights? Do you want to wear boots or sandals (both appropriate at different times of the day)? You could crave a hot chocolate or ice cream, a cold beer or a port? Jackets and shorts could really been wore every month, which means there was no need to have different wardrobes. There was no need to look at the weather forecast. A look outside would tell you if you needed an umbrella or not, the only variable accessory.
