 Weather is the
condition of a region of the Earth over a short
period of time, such as days or weeks. Climate on
the other hand is the prevailing weather conditions
(winds, temperature, air pressure, humidity, rain,
sunshine and cloudiness) of a region or the earth
over a long period of time i.e. decades, centuries
and longer periods of time.
Climate
can be influenced by
human
activity, the
Earth's orbit,
Solar activity,
Plate
Tectonics,
Government Actions
and of course the
Green House Effects. Many
skeptics
today don't believe the
scientist but the Earth is showing signs of change.
