What is the relationship between weather and climate?

Weather is what’s happening outside the door right now; today a snowstorm or a thunderstorm is approaching. Climate, on the other hand, is the pattern of weather measured over decades.

NASA and NOAA plus research centers around the world track the global average temperature, and all conclude that Earth is warming. In fact, the past decade has been found to be the hottest since scientists started recording reliable data in the 1880s. These rising temperatures are caused primarily by an increase of heat-trapping emissions in the atmosphere created when we burn coal, oil, and gas to generate electricity, drive our cars, and fuel our businesses.

Hotter air around the globe causes more moisture to be held in the air than in prior seasons. When storms occur, this added moisture can fuel heavier precipitation in the form of more intense rain or snow.

At the same time, because less of a region’s precipitation is falling in light storms and more of it in heavy storms, the risks of drought and wildfire are also greater. Ironically, higher air temperatures tend to produce intense drought periods punctuated by heavy floods, often in the same region.

These kinds of disasters may become a normal pattern in our everyday weather as levels of heat-trapping gases in the atmosphere continue to rise.

LOl ok you can if you like....but don't expect us to believe YOU anymore than we do #

I think we had climate change here today!!

Pissed down like never before!!

So it has happened before. Definitely weather.

What lee said is now documented: if patterns start up - particularly with respect to time- that haven't happened before lee has a sword of his own making to fall on!   

** Ya gotta have it up there he said!! <..where is that head tapping emoticon when you need it??> 

So where has the man made co2 induced catastrophic warming gone??

Because everything else is a smokescreen conjured up by the failed model junkies and their political controllers. The warmists are nothing but useful idiots doing the snake oil sales....
