I Believe In Science Of Climate Change

As I have said before I study climate change, and I came across this quote from one of my nightly readings, and though simplistic in nature it really states the difference that some people still confuse between weather and climate. It says "weather is what determines if you will use an umbrella today; climate determines whether you own an umbrella.".

If it is raining outside, that is weather. But whether or not that weather is the norm or not is climate.

Yes, that is the difference. And I agree, some oeople do not know there is a difference or they forgot.

@almondflour Exactly! I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard “the climate isn’t getting any warmer cause if it were it wouldn’t be snowing outside now would it?”. It drives me crazy.

Unfortunately, there seems to be a great many on whom that subtlety is lost
