Global Weather!!

Or is the jury still out on this?

Such a devisive issue! Is there Global Weather or not? The arguments rage back and forth and the fall-out is probably as injurious as the actually scuffling.

Prior to mankind's ability to launch men (and the occasional woman) into space, no one had been able to say with any certainty that there was such a thing as Global Weather. But now that we've seen the videos from space, who can deny that our Globe does indeed seem to be encapsulated with Weather!

We'd all been certain that we had weather wherever we happened to be, and took it on faith that when Aunt Esther called from clear across the country to report that it was raining there, that she was telling the truth, and so we had to accept that there was Weather there, too. But the whole, entire, every-bit-of-it Globe? I sincerely believe it was too much for any man to credit.

I don't mind admitting that I hold out this secret hope that scientists will soon stumble upon a remote, hitherto undiscovered locale with no Weather. I wouldn't mind at all going back to a time when all Weather was Local.
