I apologise to all of you for my bluntness earlier today. As Marian pointed out, it was rude.
All of the suggestions were interesting and I really did appreciate the time you took to answer my query.
Marian Greenfield Sep 2, 2005:
That's pretty rude to decline all 3 answers (and all decent ones) you received with no explanation... Doesn't exactly encourage folks to continue answering your questions....

Feel our atmosphere of human warmth on your skin.

"Clima" can refer to actual weather climate or to the more idiomatic "atmosphere" of feeling. Since "climate" in English is more connected to the idea of "weather", I think that atmosphere is a better word choice here.

agree Fiona Stephenson : I agree with Jane - how can a climate have human warmth? It is particularly nonsensical when you notice that the page this link leads to is all about the climate and temperature, and nothing about Brazil's unquestionable human warmth.

Thank you for the comments, Fiona. It makes sense if you look at it under a "lyrical" light. That's what it means by "human warmth of our climate". So, it's not a literal translation.
