NOTE TO SELF Difference between weather and climate Climate: long term Weather: short term: mins to months

climate is what you expect, like a very hot summer, and weather is what you get, like a hot day with pop-up thunderstorms.

When scientists talk about climate, they're looking at averages of precipitation, temperature, humidity, sunshine, wind velocity, phenomena such as fog, frost, and hail storms, and other measures of the weather that occur over a long period in a particular place. Global Warming is the cause, climate change is the effect

The terms 'global warming' and 'climate change' are often used interchangeably, but there is a difference.
 * Global warming is the gradual increase of the Earth’s average surface temperature, due to greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
 * Climate change is a broader term. It refers to long-term changes in climate, including average temperature and rainf
