WEATHER is short term and local; CLIMATE is long term and of broad geographic scope; when discussing the issue of climate change, it is preceded by the adjective “global” which, to educate the illiterate debunkers, means “worldwide” which, again for the illiterate, is a pretty broad scale.
Climate change warnings are about increasingly extreme FLUCTUATIONS of weather, with both LOWER COLD TEMPS as well as WARMER HI TEMPS, with an overall long-term trend toward INCREASING average global mean temperatures, which accounts for the term “global warming” (both “global warming” and “global climate change” are, in the long run, accurate terminology, but “climate change” is easier for uneducated CONservatives to understand when they see local exceptions).
The idea that science and art has to go begging, while corporate welfare, tax giveaways to the few richest elites who already have the most and wars to enrich the oil corporations and “defense contractors” of the military-industrial complex that Eisenhower warned us about (sacrificing our brave heroes on the blood-stained altar of corporate greed) brings tears to the eyes.
