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.


I have a feeling English is his second language. As for WHAT climate is, I'd say it's meteorological conditions over an extended period as opposed to weather which is meteorological conditions over a short period.

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.

"Smoke screen." Ha, that's a good one. But the question of what climate change is seems to be becoming increasingly irrelevant as green energy projects continue to expand worldwide.

What is clear is that you are scientifically illiterate and are threatened by science. If it were such an easy question then you would have easily answered. Your immediate lashing out with petty insults reveals your fear of being exposed as a know-nothing.

My assumption is that you are clueless and that nothing value-added will be forthcoming from you.

The question is only "irrelevant" to those who are trying to avoid answering it.

The question is obviously not irrelevant to those who are asking.

Another mindless warmizombie.

You are saying the exact same thing, that "climate" is just weather. You are simply trying to redefine "weather" to only apply to your capriciously arbitrary time interval.

Climate Change is whatever the left wants it to be.

That is the only consistent working definition that I have thus far.

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.
Yeah, but is it really us that's the cause? Do we know the rate of glacial retreat during previous warming phases prior to human existence? Why is Mars also currently going through a global warming phase?

The glacier calving in Greenland has 2 causes. Warner magma is flowing under the land and that is transferring heat to the ice. If it was warming from the top the lakes and steams would be flowing across the top of the ice instead if flowing down through the ice where it meets the ground as liquid water. More snow inland puts weight there and that weight pushed ice towards the coast. The Rockies get it's magma flow from the Pacific Rift unless you think the sun is warming the air at 10,000 ft yet doing nothing to the air or water at lower elevations. You would have to be part of Disneyland before that could happen.

Why is Mars also currently going through a global warming phase?
Who said it was??

There is no one so f**king arrogant as a f**king know-it-all! F.Y.I. climate to be practical and useful would have to span a minimum time window of one year.

There are two causes of ice melt- one is heat and the other is pressure! :)

Knowing where to move to so your clan doesn't extinct itself.
This one is being kept secret so all the desert regions that will turn green can be bought up while they are still worthless desert.

Climate change occurs as we fly around the sun!

We're heading into summer. That's warm and green. But there will be change. Autumn will tip toe in, bringing cooler temperatures and moisture. Oh! change. Then winter. Water turning into whine. And after some people have offed themselves because of winter depression (which actually sounds like people trying to squeeze the government for money), spring arrives, sending the cold back to Siberia or BC or wherever.

Repeat.

That's climate change.

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?

Do you lie intentionally or accidentally?

Maybe, you work for an oil company in Cowgary?

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

naw, this one is a leftii issue

..or admitted that industrialization drops the birth rate to less then replacement, and his route will lead to overpopulation

but this is really about world dicktatorship

It is a cyclical event that is experienced periodically and has no particular pattern to it. The last drought event the globe experinced was in the late 1920's when America saw the "Dust Bowl.

... only in the industrialized places ...

It will be interesting to see how the post-industrial landscape behaves demographically after a generation or two zero employment (except for the shitty service sector McJobs).

Well being as trees are showing up under some of those glaciers I would say we have been here before. Probably more than once.

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.
