What is the relationship and viewpoint between climate and behavior?

Environmental psychologists mainly have three different views: climate determinism, climate possibility theory and climate probability theory. Climate determinism holds that climate determines the scope of behavior. According to the theory of climate possibility, climate has a certain restrictive effect on behavior and limits the possible range of behavior change. According to the theory of climate probability, climate is not the decisive factor leading to some behaviors, but it determines that the probability of some behaviors is greater than others. The surrounding environment refers to some invisible and stable environmental features around us, such as sound, temperature, smell, lighting, etc. The influence of the surrounding environment on behavior is produced through the intermediary variable of emotion. Morobian put forward the concept of environmental load, which refers to the amount of information transmitted by the environment to individuals. It is considered that environmental load has three characteristics: intensity, novelty and complexity of environmental information. Intensity refers to the absolute amount of sensory stimulation; Freshness refers to the familiarity of individuals with stimuli. Any unfamiliar environmental information needs more attention and cognitive activities, and the activation level is also higher. Complexity refers to the complexity of environmental information. According to different sensory information, environmental load can be divided into high-load environment and low-load environment. High-load environment refers to a large amount of sensory information input by the environment; Low-load environment means that the surrounding environment inputs less information. Other things being equal, high-load environment leads to higher activation level. Weather refers to a relatively rapid change of heat and cold or a temporary state of heat and cold. Climate refers to general weather conditions or major weather conditions that exist for a long time. Some climatic phenomena: El Nino phenomenon, also known as "El Nino" phenomenon, refers to the abnormal warming of seawater in the equator, the Middle East and the Pacific Ocean, and its occurrence period is about 2-7 years. The Southern Oscillation (SOO) is a phenomenon that leads to the reversal of sea level pressure changes in the Indian Ocean and the South Pacific Ocean. El Nino is closely related to the Southern Oscillation, which is the expression of the interaction between the ocean and the atmosphere, and is collectively called ENSO phenomenon. The greenhouse effect is mainly caused by the extensive use of oil and the depletion of the ozone layer.
