Weather is the day to day fluctuations in atmospheric conditions. They are extremely sensitive to minor changes making it hard to predict. It’s even possible to actively change the weather by seeding clouds to start rain for example.
Climate involves long term trends which are quite stable and predictable.
It’s kinda like the stock market. There may be lots of fluctuations in a given day, but most traders are interested in long term trends which tend to be more stable and predictable.
- haltingproblem 6y agoI really like this definition because it is understandable. However we do not know long term where the stock market will be. There are countries that have been wiped out and their stock markets decimated (e.g. country that had a revolution). The US stock market is an exception in that distribution. Perhaps you mean macro vs. micro as in economics. Even there micro is far more predictable than macro. Macro is almost voodoo when it comes to prediction of any sort on any timescale.
