you can forget about your scarf this winter

I did my geography well back in high school and still remember Hong Kong lies in a sub-tropical region where distinction among four seasons is not as obvious as of, say....Tokyo. However,one should still be able to feel the difference between summer and winter in what the HK government likes to refer itself as "Asia's World Class City".

OK, I accept the fact that it's never going to snow in Hong Kong (it still pisses me off from time to time when thinking about it), but come on...26 degrees celsius in Hong Kong today?!?

I'm sorry, but my general education background and logic tells me this is November in the sub-troppical region of the northern hemisphere and it's supposed to be cold~~~
What's worse is that Hong Kong is even hotter than Sydney's late arriving summer (21c) at the moment. I can't get my thought straighten out today because this is not how I was taught in school. Looks like I don't even need to swap my flip flops and t-shirts for scarf and coats this winter. And I guess I can certainly forget about gloves. Earmuffs? what's that? they don't even exist in my dictionary!

My knowledge didn't betray me, the entire humankind did, and still do. After years of efforts we have all been putting into contributing global warming, can we at least ask ourselves to find out the climate crisis we are facing and then afterwards, feel the impact with your conscious. So you can decide to ACT on saving our mother earth or stand back and watch? Not asking you to be an environmental activist here, I believe even the most clueless bimbo would act on a good cause even for Fashion's sake!How about you get up now and grab a copy of Al Gore's Inconvenient Truth and come up with ideas to stop global warming to save yourself?
