You seem to be confusing weather with climate change.
Weather refers to short-term atmospheric conditions, such as daily temperature and precipitation variations, while climate change represents long-term shifts in average temperature, precipitation patterns, and other climatic factors over extended periods, often spanning decades (3+) to centuries.
- throw_pm23 3y agoNo, my point is that many articles on climate change confuse weather with climate change. (The crime that you accuse me of committing.) If someone says "this year is unusually warm with unusually low ice cover", that is not about climatic factors spanning decades to centuries. If someone says "the average ice cover between 2000-2020 is lower than the average cover between 1980-2000" that is about climate.
