And what does that have to do with global warming? I asked in a thread
earlier when the unscientific right will say that global warming isn't
happening because an arctic front has moved south. I think I have my
answer!


Not really. You are the only one using the term "global warming". "Climate
change" does not necessarily equate to global warming. The high today in my
location is 45 and clear, relative humidity 48%. Yesterday it was 54 and
cloudy, relative humidity 68%. That's climate change.

Not really. You are not considering the time factor. Climate generally
refers to long term weather. Short term weather, is just that, weather.

Your point is well taken, and thanks for correcting me. The term is neutral,
I.e., not heating or cooling.

Now, what about correcting loogy?

Climate is long term, weather (which you are talking about here) is
short term.

cli·mate /'kla?m?t/ Show Spelled Pronunciation [klahy-mit] Show IPA
Use Climate in a Sentence
See web results for Climate
See images of Climate
?noun 1. the composite or generally prevailing weather conditions of a
region, as temperature, air pressure, humidity, precipitation, sunshine,
cloudiness, and winds, throughout the year, averaged over a series of
years.
2. a region or area characterized by a given climate: to move to a warm
climate.

As opposed to weather:

weath·er /'w?ğ?r/ Show Spelled Pronunciation [weth-er] Show IPA
Use weather in a Sentence
See web results for weather
See images of weather
?noun 1. the state of the atmosphere with respect to wind, temperature,
cloudiness, moisture, pressure, etc.
2. a strong wind or storm or strong winds and storms collectively: We've
had some real weather this spring.
