Discussion
Weather differs from climate in that climate refers to
Answer: A
Correct answer: the statistics of weather over time
Weather is the state of the atmosphere now and climate is the distribution from which that state is drawn - the means, the variability and the extremes over a period conventionally taken as thirty years. The distinction matters because a single cold winter says nothing about the distribution, and a shift in the distribution is detectable long before any individual day becomes impossible.
