Climate is the long-term average of weather, typically averaged over a period of 30 years. More rigorously, it is the mean and variability of meteorological variables over a time spanning from months to millions of years.
Climate Change is the name commonly given to the notion that the Earth is undergoing a changing climate as a result of human activity, including notable leaders, scientists and naturalists including Sir David Attenborough.
Climate change includes both the global warming driven by human emissions of greenhouse gases, and the resulting large-scale shifts in weather patterns.
Hurricane Ian made landfall in Florida on 28 September 2022, as the storm was approaching a category 5 storm – it was category 4 on making landfall, and afterwards reduced to category 3. The storm surges in the South-Western coastal regions of Florida, USA, where landfall was first made have broken records, making it one of the most powerful hurricanes ever recorded in the region.
