without having any standing at all in the field, I can't imagine that such a simple, reductive statement could possibly be generally true about something as physically massive and chaotic and infinitely, fractally complex as the planet's climate.

- adamrezich 5y agothere's a huge difference between "Some scientists define climate as the average weather for a particular region and time period, usually taken over 30-years" and "climate works on 30 year cycles"
