The discussion revolves around the differential impacts of climate change across various regions, with participants exploring the nature of climate versus weather, the role of greenhouse gases, and the implications of these factors on climate change negotiations. The conversation includes both theoretical and conceptual elements.
Participants generally agree on the distinction between climate and weather, but there are competing views regarding the effects of greenhouse gases and the implications of these effects on climate change. The discussion remains unresolved regarding the specific impacts of climate change across different regions.
The discussion lacks specific details about the country or timeframe referenced, which may limit the understanding of the factors influencing climate variability. Additionally, the relationship between greenhouse gases and climate change is complex and not fully explored in the conversation.
By definition, climate does not vary year to year. Weather does.rooneysoccer said:Hello guys
The climate in my country varies from year to year
Please tell me why ?
You mean "greenhouse gases, including methane, water vapor, CO2 and som others"Marietta Snell said:greenhouse gases (CO2), which includes methane, water vapor, and some others
True, but the significance in the context of global warming is that GW increases the water vapor in the stratosphere, which is where the protective ozone layer sits.Marietta Snell said:water vapor, which is an exceptionally successful ozone-depleting substance
Not so. See https://www.climate.gov/news-featur...-ozone-hole-linked-climate-and-1-way-it-isn’tMarietta Snell said:the Ozone is affected causing global warming

...and without knowing which country or what timeframe, it is impossible for us to say what factors are at work.haruspex said:By definition, climate does not vary year to year. Weather does.
Climate is the set and frequencies of weather patterns that tend to occur over many years, decades at least. How many years is a matter of choice.
Per Krusell mentioned, it is generally accepted, at least among climate scientists, that emissions from fossil fuels are raising the mean temperature of the Earth and have climate-changing effects. But the differential impacts across regions are far less studied. An understanding of these differential impacts can be critical in climate-change negotiations.russ_watters said:...and without knowing which country or what timeframe, it is impossible for us to say what factors are at work.
