[QUOTE="eclipsenow, post: 77649871, member: 274355"] Climate is not weather - but can impact weather. Climate is the earth’s average temperature over a 20 year period. [URL="https://www.carbonbrief.org/analysis-what-the-new-ipcc-report-says-about-when-world-may-pass-1-5c-and-2c/"]Analysis: What the new IPCC report says about when world may pass 1.5C and 2C - Carbon Brief[/URL] Weather is what happens in your location on a daily basis. The climate scientists that study paleoclimate and the whole climate system have ruled out natural causes. Who's to say? The IPCC says. That should be enough for you. The main way climate change impacts the weather is by accelerating the water cycle. Increased temperatures mean the land dries faster. Weirdly (to myself with only a social sciences background) physics says warmer air carry 7% more water for every extra degree Celsius.
