I ask "What is Climate Change exactly?" because Donald Trump just pulled the US from the Paris Discord which is supposed to address "Climate Change" and no one involved seems to even know what it is.

Ask though I may, no one can afford an explanation that is both falsifiable, i.e. unambiguous, verifiable and testable, and that does not egregiously violate physics.

What is "Climate Change" exactly? Is it any sort of change whatsoever? If I am observing various changes, how can I tell which ones are Climate Change and which ones are not?

Any falsifiable and physics-adhering help is appreciated.

Apparently cows that emit gas are the culprits in Climate Change. It's why I've been saying for years we should quarantine Elizabeth May.

Humans who consume cows also fart vast amounts of gas. But then there are beans. :-(
Climate change is not only a political falsity but also a smoke screen to cover up the fact that we are poisoning our life support system, the biosphere.

The Creator, Fabricator And Proponent Of Global Warming – Maurice Strong

“Isn’t the only hope for the planet that the industrialized civilizations collapse? Isn’t it our responsiblity to bring that about?” – Maurice Strong, founder of the UN Environment Programme (UNEP)

“Current lifestyles and consumption patterns of the affluent middle class – involving high meat intake, use of fossil fuels, appliances, air-conditioning, and suburban housing – are not sustainable.” – Maurice Strong, Rio Earth Summit

“It is the responsibility of each human being today to choose between the force of darkness and the force of light. We must therefore transform our attitudes, and adopt a renewed respect for the superior laws of Divine Nature.“ – Maurice Strong, first Secretary General of UNEP

The earths climate is changing, however this is not in the warming direction. It is in the exact opposite direction earths climate is cooling and it is expected to reduced the planets human population by at least 50%. This will protect and preserve the ruling elite. Yes it is a cull.

Reglaciation has already started it has been said.

That would explain all of the rapidly retreating glaciers in the Rockies, Alps, Kilimanjaro, etc.

Ever been to the Columbia ice fields? I first went there when I was seven. I'm about to turn 61 and the point that I viewed the edge of the glacier back then is now miles away from it, the ice has retreated so far.

Would you care to elaborate on what you mean by "the" climate"? The earth has millions of climates. About which one are you referring?

I sure hope you aren't referring to the mythical "global climate" contradiction.

So ... what explains all the growing and nascent/forming glaciers all over the planet?

Where may they be? Here in the Great White North, where we have a shitpile of glaciers on our territory, they are getting smaller.

Breitbart offices? You Neo-Nazis should clean your chest freezers more often.

New Zealand and Himalayas.... but you would have known that if you had taken 10 seconds and google "Glaciers growing". So tell me, is your problem a matter of being too stupid, or too lazy?

Where may they be? The glacier on Mt.Logan, for example, has grown about seven meters in height across its length in just two decades. Hubbard glacier, as another example, has been growing for a century.

You don't think it's obvious that glaciers are growing all over the planet?

Our glaciers are growing, not melting - More falsehoods from Al Gore

I would say the main characteristic of Climate is its continuous state of flux from cold to warm and back to cold and back and forth between wet and dry and calm and windy in all combinations of temperature, precipitation or lack of and the movement of the air. In the short term it is known as weather and in the longer term climate.

Thank you ... but no.

I want to know what "the" climate is, not just a few of its characteristics. I'll be happy to discuss characteristics once I know what "the" climate is in the first place.

The earth has millions of climates. What climate is "the" climate?




... its continuous state of flux ...
... whatever "it" happens to be.

Weather is weather, independent of the length of term.

Sorry, you don't even have a clue about basic terminologies and you want to discuss in depth. I say go find out the definition of climate and weather. Understand what the difference is, then come back.

Climate Change is whatever the left wants it to be.
