Weather is different than climate. Global warming is real.
World Meteorological Day 2014
Weather and climate: engaging youth
World Meteorological Day is celebrated every
year on 23 March to commemorate the entry into force in 1950 of the
convention that created the World Meteorological Organization. The day
also highlights the huge contribution that National Meteorological and
Hydrological Services make to the safety and well-being of society.
This year's World Meteorological Day theme is
“Weather and climate: engaging youth." Today’s youth will benefit from
the dramatic advances being made in our ability to understand and
forecast the Earth’s weather and climate. At the same time, most of
them will live into the second half of this century and experience the
increasing impacts of global warming. WMO encourages young people to
learn more about our weather and climate system and to contribute to
action on
climate change.
