What is the difference between weather and climate?
Weather is the day-to-day state of the atmosphere, and its short-term variation in minutes to weeks. People generally think of weather as the combination of temperature, humidity, precipitation, cloudiness, visibility, and wind. We talk about changes in weather in terms of the near future: "How hot is it right now?" "What will it be like today?" and "Will we get a snowstorm this week?"
Climate is the weather of a place averaged over a period of time, often 30 years. Climate information includes the statistical weather information that tells us about the normal weather, as well as the range of weather extremes for a location.
We talk about climate change in terms of years, decades, and centuries. Scientists study climate to look for trends or cycles of variability, such as the changes in wind patterns, ocean surface temperatures and precipitation over the equatorial Pacific that result in El Niño and La Niña, and also to place cycles or other phenomena into the bigger picture of possible longer term or more permanent climate changes.

All talk no action. When are you alarmist going to get off the fossil fuel teet?

Never, that is the liberal way.

When are you going to explain why the "Climate change" issue is such a huge deal for you? . . . besides fossil fuel sources telling you to make it so. Do you think it will effect your pocketbook? Your safety? Or is it just more "Us vs Them" mentality? Like one of your favorite fixations, "How many votes did the Russians change?", how much do you see the environment changed by man's hand, and is that acceptable? Once again, as in years past when I asked the same questions, I won't hold my breath waiting for an answer, nor will I expect a reasoned well thought out answer at that. But again, at least I tried.

Just tell me you’re not an AOC disciple and we are good.
"Global"?

My brother in law in NZ walks the talk. Converted both his cars to veggie oil and goes to local restaurants to get their left over oil. Whiskers et al just talk about helping the environment.
Anyone who buys gasoline with ethanol mix is at least taking baby steps. I believe that is almost all gasoline sold as motor fuel in California.

That’s what you believe? So what’s the problem?

Global.

Carbon dioxide of the mouth.
Carbon dioxide exhalations from humans are not usually sourced from fossil fuels (unless you like that sort of thing).

As a deep freeze grips the US, Chicago will be colder than parts of Antarctica

Millions of Americans grappling with this week's deep freeze would be better off warming up in parts of Antarctica.
A mammoth blast of frigid air sweeping through the Midwest is headed toward the East, on track to shatter dozens of records along the way.
"The coldest air in a generation is sinking south, with below-zero temperatures already in the Upper Midwest," CNN meteorologist Dave Hennen said Tuesday. "And the worst yet to come."
