Climate is Weather

[elektra]

For the perspectively-challenged OP, here's the difference between climate and weather...

​

I too am amazed somebody actually made a video to state the obvious. You're welcome.

Why not take a look outside, and get back to us with what your climate is like today, beings that what its like outside, is your climate.

Uh.... nnnnnnnno, that would be what the weather is. It's cold, with yet another winter weather advisory out.
That's good to know day-to-day, in fact it's crucial as it's been dramatically changeable lately and often severe. I check on that a few times every day.

But my climate is a constant. I don't need a report or a look outside to know that; it's fixed. This is what my climate looks like -- the light blue area:

Tomorrow, or yesterday, or last month, or next August, that map will be exactly the same.

But here's what the weather looks like:

​

-- and tomorrow, or yesterday or next August, this map will look completely different. Matter of fact it's already changed from what it looked like earlier today.

Why is this one always changing while the first one isn't?

Because "climate" is not "weather". Never has been, never will be.

How about not hiding the link from your posts? Where is the link? Why would you not link? I bet your climate/weather site states that they are using the weather, as in climate is the weather.

The weather outside is the climate, its that simply, you can not separate the two. The only way to describe the climate outside, is by stating what the weather is.

Climate Weather Terms Glossary

Climate and Weather Terms Glossary

Climate The accumulation of daily and seasonal weather events over a long period of time. A description of aggregate weather conditions; the sum of all statistical weather information that helps describe a place or region.

Take a look outside, and tell us what your climate is like, without using any term related to the weather.

The links are not hidden -- you can figure out where I got them the same way I figured out you were using pics from Michigan and Utah to make points about Ireland.

Again -- I don't need to look outside, or even be at home, to know what my climate is, what yours is, what anybody's is given where they live. That's based on history. It's known and recorded.

My weather-- within that climate-- is mid-20s and light snow. On another day it could be 85 and sunny. Same climate. On a third other day it could be clear and 3 below zero. Same climate. On another day 56 and overcast with occasional showers. Again, all together now, SAME CLIMATE.

That's because they're two different things. The difference between climate and weather is like the differece between the history of civilization and yesterday's USA Today.

Yes, you used wikipedia, I just thought I would see if you cared to admit this.
According to wikipedia, Climate is Weather on the average for a 30 year period. Pogo, wikipedia is disagreeing with you, Climate is not the history of weather, not at all.

Climate - Wikipedia the free encyclopedia

Climate (from Ancient Greekklima, meaning inclination) is commonly defined as the weather averaged over a long period.[3] The standard averaging period is 30 years

Wiki does not "disagree". The freaking dictionary doesn't "disagree" either. Climate is not weather, never was, never will be. To suggest it's the same thing is absurd.

Here's a whole page of climate maps, in varying detail. Not one of them are going to change day to day, hour to hour, season to season or year to year. Not one.

On the other hand that weather map (which is from Intellicast) already changed as soon as I posted it. And by the time I get to the end of this sentence it will change again. By the time you read it, changed again.

Everybody in the world understands this. You're being obtuse.

So Pogo, do you have a climate map from 100 years ago for your area? Is it any different?

I never said it did. I said just the opposite.

A climate doesn't change, at least not within a human lifetime. Weather does. That's why they're not the same thing. Go bitch to the OP about her idiotic synonymity that tries to equate the two.

than how is it the climate is changing world wide? I'm sorry, but you seem to be saying the opposite of what you promote.
And well, the weather makes the climate. there'd be no climate without weather.

right, show me........... so I go back and reread all your crap? nope. You know what you promote and you obviously don't even agree with yourself. How flippn odd is that? Dude, that is some kind of silly. What is the thread about? it is about climate fool. You obviously believe in CO2 and man's cause to changing climate. You're on here all the time promoting this lie. Now I have you saying the exact opposite. so much silliness.

Correct, show me. You made the assertion, back it up, Gummo.

What, can't do it? So you pulled it out of your ass. You can't document it because it doesn't exist.

Then you want to tell me "what I believe"...



SMH...
