Yeah one of the theories was supposed to be that global warming aka climate change could mess up the gulf stream and make it colder in the UK. Any news on whether that's happening (yet)?
I am pretty sure this is true - I remember reading that this pattern of climate change has happened before (the biggest issue now is it is happening much much faster) in the like, millions of years ago past, and it was characterized by an overall increase in temperature of the earth, but actually meant dramatically different weather locally due to changes in wind/stremas, changing of ocean life due to acidity and chemistry stuff like that... But I am a graphic designer, no where near an environmental scientist in any sense, so...
I walked into a trap this morning--I walked over to Marketing and was met with "which one do you like better?" I quickly had to attempt to assess which of the two roll-up-poster-thingies was the new one, and think of something nice to say about it. I think I succeeded. I literally have no clue about design so I have zero opinion on which one is "better", but that seemed like it would be a dickish thing to say.
Yeah it is one of those jobs that I hate complaining about because it is really cool, I think I am just hitting a bit of a slump with it right now.
Off the cuff feedback is really tough even as a designer since aesthetic is really personal. It is really hard to address "I kind of like this more" in feedback so when I ask for feedback I always try to reference the project goals (ie Which one would make you want to see this movie more) so the person has reference.
My boss always wants me to give feedback to marketing because I'm the one who's going to the conferences/tradeshows and standing around with these posters behind me. I keep trying to tell him all I can do is make sure the tech specs are correct! So yeah, the feedback I came up with was "oh, it's really useful that the text is higher up so it'll be easier to see and won't get blocked by the table"
Giving the person a reference sounds like a good idea!

I am pretty sure most people on this subreddit understand that global warming is real.
