Climate Change Climate change is a long-term alteration in the statistical distribution of weather pattern over periods ranging from decades to millions of years. The world is currently experiencing drastic change in temperature. This change can be felt in the tropical climate areas where the weather is getting hotter and hotter every day. The change in global temperatures and precipitation over time is due to natural variability or to human activity. It is also caused by accumulation of greenhouse

What is the difference between weather and climate? WEATHER -is the day-to-day state of the atmosphere, and its short-term variation in minutes to weeks. People generally think of weather as the combination of temperature, humidity, precipitation, cloudiness, visibility, and wind. We talk about changes in weather in terms of the near future: "How hot is it right now?" "What will it be like today?" and "Will we get a snowstorm this week?" * Weather includes sunshine, rain, cloud cover, winds

against anthropogenic climate change. • The temperature recordings are unreliable. • Global warming or climate change has become politicized which has closed down the debate on whether or not climate change is anthropogenic, in other words it creates a wealth of money that forces scientists to conform or lose their jobs.
