What's the Difference Between Weather and Climate?

The difference between weather and climate is a measure of time. Weather is what conditions of the atmosphere are over a short period of time, and climate is how the atmosphere "behaves" over relatively long periods of time.

When we talk about climate change, we talk about changes in long-term averages of daily weather. Today, children always hear stories from their parents and grandparents about how snow was always piled up to their waists as they trudged off to school. Children today in most areas of the country haven't experienced those kinds of dreadful snow-packed winters, except for the Northeastern U.S. in January 2005. The change in recent winter snows indicate that the climate has changed since their parents were young.

If summers seem hotter lately, then the recent climate may have changed. In various parts of the world, some people have even noticed that springtime comes earlier now than it did 30 years ago. An earlier springtime is indicative of a possible change in the climate.

In addition to long-term climate change, there are shorter term climate variations. This so-called climate variability can be represented by periodic or intermittent changes related to El Niño, La Niña, volcanic eruptions, or other changes in the Earth system.

The issue is to what extent human behavior affects said climate change and what is just noise..

Pretty sure the last 100's of billions of inflationary fiat printed $$$ will do nothing to change anything..

It's all just the latest bogeyman we can fight against/ fight against each other about and piss away money on while the top crooks get richer imo

The fact that temperatures dropped in the 14th century is not addressed.

The fact it is me and you have to change while the elites don’t is not addressed

The fact that non white people are to sacrifice their futures is not addressed

These Climate radicals are not willing to sacrifice their lifestyles only the lifestyles of others.

Gated, bezo and Zuckerberg have a carbon footprint that is larger than you peasants

If your into climate change it is because your a self righteous bigot who has no country, religion or a grasp off reality

Climate is always changing. As I've mentioned before, we are in an inter-glacial warm period of climate change. The climate change issue is a debunked attack on the oil industry.

Yep!

Another lie that is perpetuated is that weather is getting worse and that hurricanes are getting stronger and more prevalent..

It's all a bunch of malarkey. Hurricanes are not worse than they were before and they're not more frequent.

Droughts are not more frequent.

In fact, we should count our blessings. More people are alive today than ever in the history of the world. And that has to do with a warmer climate where we can grow food in a lot of places. The real danger is when the climate starts to cool, and it surely will start to cool one day.

Somebody posted about hurricanes being more destructive. That's an example of disingenuous spouting of information in order to make people think that hurricanes are worse. In reality there are a lot more people in the areas where hurricanes strike and there are a lot more infrastructure and buildings and homes than there ever were. That's why there might be more damage sometimes. It also matters where a hurricane hits.

But there are less deaths from hurricanes now than there were in the past. Even though there are more people.

There are also less hurricanes now than there have been since 1900s.

Climate alarmists are ignorant of basic history that anybody can look up. They want to buy into the whole alarmist thing for some reason. I don't get it at all. The world is not ending and the climate is not a problem. It will be a problem when everything freezes over.

Hurricanes with tank destroying cannon rounds are very good

Modern records reveal an unnatural global warming trend taking hold of Earth's climate in recent decades. By burning fossil fuels, humans are sending heat-trapping carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere that are raising global temperatures.

And the dino-killing asteroid hitting Earth at the end of the Cretaceous period (145 million to 66 million years ago) plunged parts of the sky into cold darkness for years under dense clouds of ash and particles; then, Earth's temperatures spiked for 100,000 years, due to the colossal amount of carbon dioxide the asteroid kicked up when it smashed into the Yucatán Peninsula; a massive asteroid strike is still technically a natural event, albeit a sad one for the dinosaurs.

Hogwash! I suppose there was a cache of pure carbon dioxide just sitting there waiting to be hit? Specious nonsense!

And let's not forget that even though the climate is warming, we are benefiting from that. There is nothing bad that is happening.

These climate alarmists that want us to believe that bad things are happening because of the climate have nothing. There are no bad things happening because of the climate getting warmer. There are more benefits than negatives for the climate being as warm as it is now.

Any evidence these people try to point to that say things are getting worse and that people are going to be flooded out of their coastal homes or any of that was just pure nonsense.

Not nearly as dangerous as tornados with sharks in them.  I saw the documentary and am still scared.

It is so sad that there are people that are so one dimensional in their thought process.

Experimental data and climate models suggest this warming will affect weather in a variety of ways, making it hotter and colder, more extreme, more chaotic and in a word, "worse." For example, as the world gets warmer, more water evaporates from the surface of dry areas and increases precipitation in wet areas, according to Weart. In other words, dry areas get drier and wet areas get wetter. More moisture in the atmosphere in a warming planet can also lead to heavier snowfall during the winter.

Models are no reason to throw away prosperity.

The asteroid caused a large plankton die off which regulates the amount of Co2 thus there was an increase in Co2 in the atmosphere.


Much like the melting of the permafrost is release large amounts of methane that it had trapped,which is another greenhouse gas.

You mean short term prosperity, right?
