In everyday contexts ‘climate’ and ‘atmosphere’ are frequently used to refer to either the meteorological or the affective. I suggest we should take such common linguistic usage not as mere coincidence but as evidence of their always-already entangled nature. Definitions of the two can be eerily similar: what is climate, if not a set of relationally composed forces that literally press, shape, form, emanate from, and filter between ecological bodies, as affect has been defined?
